I think the fact that Russia supported the previous round of sanctions
on Iran is a signal that Moscow and Washington share the fundamental
interest in seeing Iran as a nuclear bomb-free country - the views of
Russia and the US differ in terms of how this should be achieved and
at what costs, Jana Kobzova, expert at European Council for Foreign
Relations, told ArmInfo.
"Washington and the EU states are ready to go further than Russia
at the moment, as confirmed by the recent adoption of oil embargo on
Iran by the US and the EU," she said.
Moreover, Kobzova said, Washington and Brussels are still hoping
the sanctions would work eventually and that no offensive would be
needed and hope the international community would rally behind this
objective - they realize the region is 'combustible' even without a
Western intervention.
