Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said imposing new sanctions against Tehran is not possible, adding there is no reason to intensify sanctions against the Islamic Republicran.

Gatilov pointed out on Friday that imposing more sanctions against Iran and possible attacks against it are acts of intervention along with the aim of regime change, Russian News Agency Interfax quoted Galitov as saying.

He underlined his country's obligation to its stance on opposing unilateral sanctions of the west against Iran and said such sanctions are out of framework of the UN Security Council resolutions.

He added that whatever is proposed in the UN Security Council out of framework of resolutions against Iran, it has no connection with consolidating system to none proliferation of nuclear arsenal.

Gatilov went on to say there is no current discussion in the UN Security Council on the uranium enrichment in Iran.

'Tehran has informed International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about its intention to start enriching uranium in its reactor at Frodo on time, and nuclear materials in the place are under the IAEA’s control. This fact should not be ignored,' the Russian official said.

In recent days, Russia had strongly opposed to impose new economic sanctions over the Islamic Republic.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and senior negotiator for nuclear affairs Sergey Rybakov clearly declared his country's opposition to oil sanctions against Iran.
