The aggravation of the situation around Iran is not beneficial to anyone except the current American administration, to prevent such a scenario is in the interests of the entire world community, member of the International Affairs Committee Elena Panina told RIA Novosti, commenting on the initiative of the Russian side to hold urgent talks between the permanent members of the UN Security Council, Iran and Germany. …
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russia remains fully committed to the JCPOA to resolve the Iranian nuclear program. Putin proposed to hold an online meeting of the heads of state of the permanent members of the UN Security Council with the participation of the leaders of Germany and Iran in the very near future in order to avoid an aggravation of the situation.
According to the politician, there is a risk that as the presidential election approaches, the United States may again aggravate the situation around Iran, in particular, by attempting to radically tighten sanctions and introducing a complete ban on the export of Iranian oil.
“There is a possibility that they will increase pressure on Germany and the EU, demanding accession to the embargo in exchange for a softening of their position on Nord Stream 2. In this situation, support for the Russian initiative is of particular importance. It is necessary that not only Russia, but also the rest of the global processes have found the courage to resist blackmail from the United States “, – said Panina.
“The aggravation around Iran is not beneficial to anyone except the current American administration. To prevent such a scenario is in the interests of the entire world community,” Panina stated.
