Khorram told the Mehr News Agency that all countries pursue their own national interests and Iran should expect the same of Russia and should not expect more.
He went on to say that the United States and Israel are putting a great deal of pressure on Iran.
Europe may try to prevent Iran from acquiring or developing nuclear technology, even for peaceful purposes, without necessarily acting like the United States, he added.
Khorram said that the U.S. and Europe are acting in harmony to pressure Iran using a carrot and stick policy.
He added that Russia also intends to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear weapons power, stressing that if Russia reached the conclusion that Iran would be able to use its civilian nuclear program to develop technology enabling it to construct nuclear weapons, it would discontinue its nuclear cooperation with the country.
In conclusion, Khorram said that Russia is pursuing its own economic objectives in its cooperation with Iran.
