Iran International English(@IranIntl_En):US efforts to force Iran into accepting a peace agreement on Washington's terms through military pressure and sanctions are unlikely to succeed, a senior Russian Foreign Ministry official said Wednesday. Maxim Maksimov, acting director of the ministry's Middle East and North Africa Department, told the International Forum on Collective Security that Washington's decision to intensify pressure on Tehran was "misguided and counterproductive," according to Russia's TASS news agency. Maksimov also said the United States needed a long-term settlement plan that would allow Washington to withdraw from the confrontation with Iran without suffering further damage to its reputation.
