Russian Official: US unilateral sanctions against Tehran by Washington will be a "blow" at US-Russia relations.(Fars).Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov told reporters on Sunday that US unilateral sanctions on Iran would "run against international law and affect third countries." Moscow could not accept if Russian firms and banks become potential victims of such unilateral actions from the US, Ushakov warned. "Russia is in principle against the imposition of unilateral sanctions on Iran which are against the international law," he said. The remarks came as Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Barack Obama are to meet on the sidelines of the upcoming Group of 20 summit Monday in the Mexican city of Los Cabos. Russia has always supported Iran's right to access peaceful nuclear technology. Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this month assured his Iranian counterpart that Moscow strongly supports Tehran's atomic program, a highly remarkable stance with clear political implications for the upcoming talks between Iran and the six world powers in Russia. "We have always supported the Iranian people's right to have modern technology, including the peaceful use of nuclear energy," Putin told Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the sidelines of a regional security summit in Beijing. "But I would like to stress that this must be precisely for peaceful purposes."Hmmmmm........Time for President Obama to be 'inflexible' ?Or kick Congress further down the road?Read the full story here.
