Russia-Iran military cooperation cannot be target of sanctions - Lavrov

MOSCOW. July 13 (Interfax-AVN) - Russian-Iranian military cooperation cannot be a target of any sanctions against Tehran, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

"Russian-Iranian military-technical cooperation is proceeding in complete compliance with relevant international norms," Lavrov told reporters on a plane en route to Moscow from Paris on Thursday.

"No one sees the Bushehr nuclear power plant as a threat. It is a nuclear power plant, while the project to complete its construction, including the return of spent nuclear fuel to Russia, is seen as a model of cooperation in this sector with Iran," he said.
