Iran advised Europe to be reasonable with Russia to resolve the crisis

“The only solution in the situation of their economic crisis is for them to pursue more rational, more reasonable relations with Russia,” the diplomat told RIA Novosti.

Marandi also expressed the opinion that the situation in Ukraine and the energy crisis are the reasons for the "rapid desire" of the Europeans to speed up the conclusion of an agreement with Iran on a JCPOA for further cooperation in the energy sector.
