TEHRAN (Iran News) –“The United States is threatening countries of the region, especially Iran and Russia, keeps on imposing illegal sanctions on both countries in a bid to exert pressure on Iran and Russia, but thanks to the wisdom of the Iranian and Russian leaders, the sanctions have turned into possibilities not only for our countries but for other states in the entire region,” Ali Baqeri said at a plenary session of the Russia-Islamic World: KazanForum.
“It is impossible to build peace in the region without close economic ties,” he stressed, adding that Moscow and Tehran will continue strengthening their ties.
