Russia objects to EU Iran sanctions
Russia's foreign ministry says new EU sanctions against Iran show scorn for the United Nations and the so-called "sextet" working to resolve disputes over Iran's nuclear program.

MOSCOW —
Russia's foreign ministry says new EU sanctions against Iran show scorn for the United Nations and the so-called "sextet" working to resolve disputes over Iran's nuclear program.
The European Union on Monday adopted new sanctions targeting Iran's foreign trade, banking and energy sectors.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said Tuesday the move "not only undermines our joint strength in the search for a political-diplomatic resolution of the situation around Iran's nuclear program but demonstrates scorn for the carefully developed and agreed-upon position of the U.N. Security Council resolution."
Russia, a member of the sextet negotiating with Iran, supported the U.N. sanctions adopted last month, but has objected to stronger measures.
