> Russia’s UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya urged Western countries to stop what he called “extremely dangerous actions” regarding Iran, warning they could further complicate efforts to resolve the Persian Gulf crisis. He said disputes should be addressed through political and diplomatic efforts that consider all parties’ interests and Tehran’s legitimate rights. Russia and China blocked a US draft to extend the Iran sanctions experts’ mandate.
