Russia's anti-Iranian remarks harm itself - Iran

A senior Iranian official says recent claims made by Russia President
Dmitry Medvedev regarding Tehran's uranium enrichment are
"implausible", reports Trend, citing Press TV.
"It is hard to believe that the Russian president actually made such
comments and has adopted such a stance against Iran," said lawmaker
Mohammad-Reza Mirtajeddini, Vice-President for Parliamentary Affairs,
on Monday.
Mirtajeddini, who was speaking in an exclusive interview with Mehr
News Agency, added that Russia will soon realize that its cynical
approach towards Iran's nuclear issue will come at the Kremlin's own
expense.
"Russia's decision to follow in the footsteps of the Americans is
going to cost them as it will undoubtedly give rise to global
condemnation," he continued.
Mirtahjeddini made the comments a day after Medvedev described Iran as
"irresponsible" and urged the country to pay heed to what he called
world demands over its uranium enrichment activities.
"The situation is this: An agreement on sanctions exists," the Russian
president said following talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in
Berlin. "We hope that the voice of the international community is
heard by the Iranian leadership."
"Such expressions of irresponsible behavior cannot be continued. What
is said internationally needs to be listened to. Only this way can the
most complex tasks be solved," he said.
A longtime trade partner, Russia has traditionally opposed the
adoption of fresh sanctions on Iran, but in recent months the Kremlin
has joined in on US calls for an end to Tehran's nuclear program.
