Russia says it will support UN sanctions against Iran, if the country doesn't stop enriching uranium in the next few days.

The statement was made by Russia's ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin. He specified that Russia's support for sanctions will only cover economic restrictions. He also said that the UN Security Council should draw up a new resolution on Iran's nuclear issue, as the country didn't fulfill the two previous ones.
