Russia: Israel Seeks Clarification on Iran's Nuclear Program
I wish I could say Russia is acting in its own interest by helping Iran with its nuclear program. But I can't even say that: the Russian leadership is completely delusional when it comes to Iran. Russia will be in far worse danger than the United States if the Iranians get the bomb: Israel Presses Russia Over Iran
Israel's national security adviser pressed Russia on Wednesday on its intentions concerning the nuclear standoff between the West and Iran, but Tehran's ambassador to Moscow urged the Kremlin to resist what he called pressure from other countries.An Israeli security delegation was in town for talks on Iran's nuclear program ahead of a visit by France's foreign minister, amid efforts to persuade Russia to back referring Tehran to the UN Security Council over its suspected nuclear weapons ambitions.
"We would like to understand the Russian position concerning Iran's plans. We are pleased that we can express our concerns over this issue," Israeli National Security chief Giora Eiland said at a meeting with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Itar-Tass reported.
