Complaints In Iran On Russia's Position On U.N. Security Council Resolution 1835
The Iranian daily Kayhan, which is close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stated that the September 27 adoption of the fourth version of U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution against Iran (No. 1835) proved that the price Russia will demand from the West in order to trade on the back of Iran has increased following the crisis in the Caucasus, and that it approved the resolution to ward off accusations that it was acting irresponsibly and in violation of agreements.
The Iranian daily Jomhouri-e Eslami stated that Russia approved the resolution despite its "slogans," and that this approval proved wrong those who thought that the Caucasus crisis would prevent understandings between Russia and the U.S. in the nuclear crisis, and that "the Russian politicians were willing, very early on, to trample their own declarations in order to assure their interests."
Iranian MPs complained that the adoption of the resolution by the U.N. Security Council attests that Russia and the U.S. have reached an agreement and are acting jointly against Iran on the nuclear issue.
