Russia will join economic sanctions against Iran, Interfax news agency quoted a decree from the new President, Dmitry Medvedev, as saying on Thursday. It was unclear from the report which sanctions the decree referred to.
A Kremlin spokesman refused immediate comment.
The UN-backed sanctions against Iran are over its nuclear program, which some Western nations suspect to be aimed at producing nuclear arms.
