Russia Just Warned The US That It May Play The 'Iran Card' On Ukraine -- Business Insider
A senior Russian diplomat signaled a possible shift Wednesday in Russia's position on the ongoing Iranian nuclear talks amid tensions with the United States and other Western countries, according to The Associated Press.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted by the Russian news organization Interfax as saying the recent sanctions announced by the European Union and U.S. may force Russia to retaliate by altering its stance on the Iran talks.

My Comment: I expect to hear the same warnings about Syria, Afghanistan, North Korea, etc. in the next few weeks. I also expect no change in their policies .... if there was a change .... Putin would be making it and not the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister. But if more sanctions are imposed against Russia .... then expect that Putin speech.
