Russia and China have backed Iran’s position against restoring UN Security Council sanctions, but experts believe their political support will not significantly affect global compliance, a reformist daily reported Monday.
“Iran’s proposals did not include any practical steps to address concerns before the deadline,” wrote Ham-Mihan.
While Moscow and Beijing back Tehran’s stance on the “illegitimacy” of Europe’s request to reinstate sanctions, such support carries little weight in shaping other countries’ decisions to enforce the resolutions, the daily added.
