The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the 20th, condemning Britain, France and Germany for trying to forcibly push the UN Security Council resolution to resume sanctions against Iran.
The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Russia has repeatedly pointed out that the actions of European countries involved in the Iranian nuclear deal are provocative and illegal. These actions will only further increase tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear program.
The UN Security Council failed to pass a draft resolution on the continuation of the lifting of sanctions against Iran.
