MOSCOW, June 9 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Foreign Ministry warned on Wednesday of retaliatory measures if new sanctions against Iran affected Russian companies or individuals.
The United Nations Security Council approved on Wednesday a new package of economic sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.
"We cannot possibly ignore signals reaching us about the intention of some of our partners...to start considering additional, tougher restrictive measures against Iran than those provided for under the UN Security Council resolution," the ministry said in a statement.
"Such decisions, if they affect Russian legal entities or individuals, are fraught with retaliatory measures."
