The Russian Foreign Ministry assessed the possibility of US sanctions against Iraq because of the S-400

Ryabkov noted that the United States threatens sanctions to anyone who intends to develop military-technical cooperation or develops it.

“This is not news, but a reflection of the policy that Washington is pursuing in order to realize its goal of dominating, eliminating economic competitors who offer partners in the international market products that meet their needs in terms of their parameters, price indicators. We are not afraid of these sanctions, we are ready to confront them, ”TASS quoted him as saying.

According to Ryabkov, the United States does not disdain any tricks in order to impose approaches that "are far from satisfying and seem to be illegal and illegal."

Earlier, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Middle East Affairs Joey Hood said the United States could impose sanctions if Iraq acquired Russian S-400 systems.
