Russian representative to the Security Council:

In Pompeo's remarks, at least I did not hear a word of cooperation or dialogue. We are following with concern the developments of the policy of maximum suffocation against Iran. The US goal is to change Iran regime or create a situation where Iran is literally unable to breathe. It's like putting your knee on someone's neck. This crisis has been caused by the United States.

Strategic aspects added to Iran-Russia relations

Senior Adviser to the Iran's FM: The Russians offered to give the S-400 instead of the S-300, but the Iranian side refused based on his reasons. If the Syrian government fell, we would see a domino of other events in the Arab State region and the Persian Gulf, that was blocked by the cooperation between Iran and Russia. In the fall of 2015, after General Soleimani's meeting with Putin, Russia launched an operation in Syria. China and Russia have similar opinion in terms of FATF Both because of the problems it creates in bilateral relations and because of the problems…
