Tehran - Tehran sees no change in Russia's stance in the dispute on Iran's controversial nuclear programmes, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said Sunday.
'There is no change in the Russian stance and Moscow is still trying to soften the sanction plans against Iran,' Hosseini said in a press briefing in Tehran.
The spokesman was referring to Friday's remarks by Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov who had said that Moscow would support sanctions on nuclear material and 'sensitive technologies' to Iran.
'We are satisfied with Russia's stance which is different from that of the others (United Nations Security Council member states plus Germany),' the spokesman said.
Referring to Tuesday's six-party talks - veto powers Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany - Hosseini predicted that 'nothing new would happen.'
'We will continue our programmes in accordance with the Non- Proliferation Treaty regulations and are still ready to reply to any remaining ambiguities,' the spokesman said.
