Javad Larijani: China and Russia played along in America’s puzzle
Larijani: Russia’s action in signing the anti-Iranian statement is not a miscalculation. They preferred a quick, short-term benefit over a longer-term one because they realized that this issue does not have a very clear end in their relations with these countries. They also understand that China’s relationship with Saudi Arabia only progresses as far as the Americans accept it. They fully understand that the Saudi government does not have the capability to stand against America’s wishes, and in the short term, the Americans want to reduce Russia’s reliance on Iran, and with these stances, they aim to upset Iran.
