MOSCOW, Russia. – The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the interference of the United States in Iran’s internal policy affairs.

The internal processes in Iran, as in any other country, are not related to the founding functions of the Security Council, Russian vice chancellor Sergey Ryabkov assured, and indicated it is regrettable that the United States should be reminded of the Alphabet of diplomacy.

The diplomat thus responded to the announcement by Washington of its intention to convene an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council, to address street protests in the Persian country.

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence promised that the current US Administration will not repeat the shameful mistake of its predecessors, who, he said, ignored the protest actions in Iran, and also proposed changes in the deadlines for compliance of the agreement.
