/PanARMENIAN.Net/ There are no changes regarding U.S. economic
sanctions on Tehran, Assistant Secretary for Bureau of European and
Eurasian Affairs Philip H. Gordon said when commenting on Washington’s
attitude over an energy deal signed between Turkey and Iran.

"The United States doesn’t do economic business with Iran, and we also
don’t think it’s time for business as usual with Iran for other
countries. We also have legislation that requires sanctions when other
countries make significant investments in Iran’s energy sector, and
none of that has changed," he said, Anatolian News agency reported.
