Russia's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday criticized Iran after its president said Teheran had successfully enriched uranium for the first time, a potential step toward developing nuclear weapons, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.

"We believe that this step is wrong. It goes in contradiction to decisions of the IAEA (the UN nuclear watchdog) and resolutions of the UN Security Council," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin was quoted as saying by ITAR-Tass.

The official added that Russia, which has close ties with Tehran, had learned "with concern" of the Iranian announcement.

Exactly. Pooty-Poot must have found it easier to live with duplicity and lies in his soul, too bad we didn't see that a few years ago. ;)

You are correct about russia, our great friend.

Russia is not our friend, they would still bury us given half a chance. As we should now bury them before they get any chance.

Yep - Russia doesn't mind if Iran gets the bomb, they just wish that Iran would shut up and do it covertly as planned.

If the release of tech info in western world is any indicator, the Iranians are about 5 to 10 years more advanced in their nuke tech than anyone perceives.
