Russia pledges to veto any anti-Iran sanctions resolution

‘Russia, a veto-wielding permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has pledged to block any future attempts by the UN to hit Iran with fresh sanctions.

“When Resolution 1929, the last series of sanctions resolutions, was adopted… we made it clear behind closed doors to our US and EU colleagues that Russia will not let another sanctions resolution against Iran be passed,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Friday.

Resolution 1929 was approved by the Security Council in June 2010, banning the supply of conventional weapons to Iran. It resulted in the suspension of Russia’s contract with Iran on the delivery of Russian S-300 missile defense systems to the Islamic Republic.’
