Answering a question from Reuters, Zakharova said that the world is growing tired of "endless" threats against Iran, and that Russia advocated a reasonable approach to the dispute over Tehran's nuclear program.

Iran and the U.S. are set to hold talks in Oman this week, with tensions around Tehran's nuclear ambitions high.
