Official Dismisses ‘False’ Report by Reuters
TEHRAN – An Iranian official on Saturday rejected a report by Reuters about an alleged demand by Russia for written U.S. guarantees that sanctions on Moscow would not damage Russian cooperation with Iran as false.
Reuters has a long record of quoting what it calls informed officials without naming them, which are often dismissed. IRNA said it checked the veracity of the claim with Iranian officials close to the Vienna negotiations and found out that no Iranian official has had such an interview with Reuters.
