Russian envoy calls for Tehran-Beijing-Moscow strategic alliance against US

Russian Ambassador to Tehran, Levan Dzhagaryan, said on Sunday that it is up to Tehran, Beijing and Moscow to form a strategic trilateral cooperation to defy the US unilateral measures against the landmark nuclear agreement of 2015.

Addressing the 2nd conference on perspective of trade and cultural cooperation between Iran and North Caucasian Federal District today in Tehran, Dzhagaryan underlined that China, Iran and Russia should develop their economic cooperation to enable Iran to confront the US measures against the nuclear deal.

The diplomat underlined that Moscow opposes the unilateral moves of Washington in violation of nuclear pact, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“The Russian Federation is concerned about the unfair sanctions imposed on Iran, and Russia is ready to help Iran to thwart negative impacts of the US sanctions,” Dzhagaryan underscored.

The ambassador said that Russia is determined to broaden economic ties with Iran.
