Russia remains opposed to new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program and is not considering them at present, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said on Monday.

Russia remains opposed to new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program and is not considering them at present, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said on Monday.

"UN Security Council sanctions over Iran would be contradictory," he said.

Western nations suspect Iran of pursuing a secret nuclear weapons program but Tehran insists it needs nuclear power solely for civilian purposes.

Iran is currently subject to a series of EU and U.S. sanctions, including measures targeting the country's lucrative oil industry.
