TEHRAN - Unilateral sanctions will not help solve the Iranian nuclear problem, Russia's foreign minister said yesterday during his second visit to Tehran in two weeks, according to Russian news reports. Earlier in the day, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad shrugged off a new round of US sanctions targeting Iran, saying the country would not succumb to pressure from Washington, official Iranian media reported. Ahmadinejad met with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to discuss his country's nuclear program, Iranian state media reported, releasing no details of the talks. But Russian media said Lavrov dismissed the effectiveness of unilateral sanctions, an apparent reference to American sanctions announced last week. (AP)
