Headlines : "War on Terror"Putin: No Proof Iran Seeks Nuclear Arms
Russia has opposed the U.S. push for tougher sanctions against Iran and called for more checks and inspections of Iranian facilities by International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
Déjà vu
France’s Sarkozy has hardened his stance on Iran in recent months, shifting closer to the United States in his insistence on tough Security Council sanctions and has even mentioned the possibilityof war. While the U.S. and European nations are pressing for greater sanctions, Russia and China have resisted. You can already see which powers will fight for whom, as they battle for Iran’s black gold.

President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday there is no proof Iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons, but emphasized that Tehran must be encouraged to make its nuclear program fully transparent.
“We are sharing our partners’ concern about making all Iranian programs transparent,” Putin said at a news conference after talks with visiting French President Nicolas Sarkozy. “We agreed yesterday, and the president confirmed it, that Iran is making certain steps toward the international community to achieve that.”
Putin is to make his first visit to Iran early next week for a summit of Caspian Sea nations.

well, russia builds all of Iran’s nuke facilities so he should know or may be lying, huh.
What is it about sitting on all that oil (the second largest reserves after Saudi Arabia) that makes Iranian nuclear ambitions so much more dangerous than say those of Pakistan, or India for that matter, both of whom suddenly tested nuclear weapons without any apparent foreknowledge or substantial reaction by the rest of the world?
Peace?
Maybe they are not trying to develop their own because they already have a bunch of ex-soviet warheads?
