Lavrov: Russia will continue commercial activities with Iran despite US threats

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that Russia sees no reason to halt commercial activities with Iran and will continue doing so as it deems appropriate, despite U.S. threats of sanctions.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on January 12 that any country engaging in commercial activities with Iran would face 25% tariffs on its trade with the United States.
