Dmitry Peskov: the US Sanctions are not a limiting factor for the agreement between Russia and Iran on oil supplies.

The US sanctions are not a limiting factor for the agreement between Russia and Iran on oil supplies, Dmitry Peskov, the RF President's press secretary, stated.

"The United States is threatening to impose the sanctions on all that Russia does. This is not a limiting factor", - ITAR-TASS quoted Peskov. The press secretary stated that in this case we are not talking only about the deal.

Earlier, Marie Harf, the State Department spokesman, stated that an agreement between Russia and Iran on oil supplies may be subject to sanctions by the United States.

"We have seen reports that such an agreement can be prepared", - she stated, adding that, as Washington understood, "the document is still under consideration". "Potentially, this could be subject to sanctions by the United States", - Harf warned.
