Russia says Iran crisis resolvable only by diplomacy taking account of Iranian interests




Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that the Iran crisis can only be resolved through diplomatic channels that take Iranian interests into account.

Speaking at a briefing to reporters, Zakharova said that only Iran itself should decide the fate of its uranium reserves.
