Moscow favors diplomacy over Iran nuclear issue
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Moscow, March 25, IRNA -- Russia has called for diplomatic solution to Iran nuclear issue.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Andrei Nesterenko told reporters in Moscow on Thursday that Moscow prefers a diplomatic solution to the issue.
On Wednesday, senior diplomats from six world powers held a conference to discuss Iran's nuclear issue.
The US and its allies have been trying hard to push through a fourth round of sanctions against Iran, while China and Russia have been reluctant to go along with the scheme.
Nesterenko also stressed that his country would not throw its support behind financial and economic sanctions on Iran.
"But... such sanctions must be directed exclusively on the resolution of non-proliferation tasks and not aimed at the financial and economic suffocation of this country," he said.
