Moscow has brushed off Iran’s accusations that it is conspiring against the country's nuclear program. Earlier, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Russia against supporting new UN sanctions against Iran.

Ahmadinejad has stated that Moscow should refrain from siding with Tehran's enemies to avoid being seen as one of them.

Responding to Ahmadinejad’s call, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov maintained that Russia was to follow its own course on the international arena.

“Unfortunately, considering all the efforts we have made over the last few years, Iran's reply was unsatisfactory,” Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. “Russia is not following anyone's orders…Every decision we make on foreign policy is based on our responsibility as a key player on the international scene, where many difficult issues are being resolved. The situation around Iran is one of them.”

Last week, Russia, along with other four permanent members of the UN Security Council, reviewed the draft resolution on new sanctions against Iran, which was put forward by the US a day after Iran agreed on a nuclear fuel swap deal with Turkey and Brazil.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's statement that Russia was to follow its own course on the international arena is logical and natural. The real reason of course is not "Iran's reply was unsatisfactory". The Anglo-American agencies are working to raise Russia to a position so that it appears to be an alternative for those who dislike US. Iran already increased her vulnerability by secretly helping Britain-US-NATO to occupy counties on her borders i.e. Afghanistan and Iraq. The current Russian policy may help Iran to turn more attention to Divine power and her revolutionary masses in the south of the cities and in the rural areas.
