From the Jerusalem Post:

Russia turned on Iran, accusing it of “fruitless and irresponsible rhetoric” and adding its voice to a diplomatic assault Monday which included unilateral sanctions from both the EU and Canada, as well as warnings from Iran’s opposition party that Ahmadinejad’s regime could suffer the same fate as the deposed Shah. The Russian remark came after criticism from Tehran over Moscow’s support for UN sanctions last month. In the past, Iran had depended on allies Russia and China — and their veto power at the Security Council — to block tough penalties, but Russia sided with the US and its allies and endorsed the sanctions, levied in a bid to force Iran to halt its nuclear ambitions.
The Russian Foreign Ministry suggested “Iran’s leaders take concrete and constructive steps to work the situation out.” The European Union and Canada formally adopted unilateral sanctions against Iran earlier Monday which target the country’s energy, banking, and foreign trade sectors. The move came on the heels of the unilateral US sanctions passed last month by the Senate. June’s sanctions showed signs of affecting Iran’s airline industry. The EU sanctions were agreed to in principle by European leaders in June, and are the latest in a series of measures taken by the international community in an effort to halt Iran’s nuclear program.
