Why am I not suprised? ex-communist country , no-way.! US has been warned!
Moscow - In the row over Iran’s controversial nuclear programme,
Russia warned the United States Saturday against additional unilateral sanctions
against Tehran now that a compromise resolution has been passed by the United
Nations Security Council.
Unilateral measures that have not been subjected
to a vote would damage common efforts to encourage Tehran to return to talks
about its nuclear programme, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in
Moscow.
The US hard line on Iran had wanted much stricter measures than
those decided by the Security Council in December, Lavrov said, adding that he
planned to discuss this during an upcoming visit to Washington on February 2.
Russian Security Council Secretary Igor Ivanov was expected for talks in
Tehran Saturday evening.
Ivanov was scheduled to meet with his Iranian
counterpart Ali Larijani, Iranian Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki said.
Russia did vote for the UN resolution against Iran in December, but managed
to push through some amendments, including the exclusion of previously agreed
contracts, such as the delivery of Russian air defence systems to Iran in
January.
Moscow is also helping Tehran build its first nuclear reactor in
the city of Bushehr.
Count this for the “countless talks”
Rusia’s security Council Secretary Igor Ivanov was due to arrive
Saturday in Iran for talks with his Iranian counterpart Ali Larijani and other
officials, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said. Mottaki told reporters in
Tehran that the visit is aimed at leading the course of the nuclear dispute
towards negotiations again. Ivanov was in Tehran last October and expressed hope
that Russia would settle the dispute over Iran’s controversial nuclear programme
within negotiations and outside the United Nations Security Council. But the UN
veto powers, including Russia, eventually approved last December the resolution
1737 which foresaw sanctions against Iran if the Islamic state did not suspend
uranium enrichment until end of February this year.
and yea NO-KO denies it.
North Korea dismissed allegations Saturday that the communist regime is
cooperating with Iran in nuclear development, accusing Western media of
spreading the rumor to mislead public opinion.
The “assertion is nothing but
a sheer lie and fabrication intended to tarnish the image of (North Korea) by
charging it with nuclear proliferation,” the North’s Foreign Ministry said in a
statement carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency.
I say bring it on just like GW is doing.
