The Russian Foreign Ministry did not agree with the US statements on sanctions against Iran

This is how they commented on Washington's statements about the restoration of the previously canceled UN Security Council sanctions against Tehran.

The Foreign Ministry noted that the United States "continues to mislead" the international community, speculating about the completion of "certain procedures to restore the effect of sanctions resolutions" in the UN Security Council.

“Of course, the Americans understand that their statements are not true.

That is why all who disagree with them, the United States, as usual, threatens to subject sanctions and other punishments.

Apparently, there are no other arguments left in American foreign policy, ”the department said.

Everything that Washington is doing is nothing more than a theatrical performance, the ministry stressed.

They called the goal of such actions to try to subordinate the Security Council to its policy of "maximum pressure" on Iran and to make this body a handy tool.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that UN sanctions against Iran are coming into force, despite the fact that the organization does not agree with this.

He noted that the US will take action against "violators" of these sanctions.
