"We have agreed that there is unity on the ultimate goal - nuclear nonproliferation," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said but apparently the only way to prevent proliferation is to label it peaceful nuclear tech, and when it's proved via mushroom cloud not to be peaceful... "oops so sorry, how could we have known?" It's not as if chants of "Death to Russia" are common in Iran. Why should Russian officials care about an Iranian N-bomb...

Of course they don't, we are Iran's primary enemy and it serves Russia strategic best interests to see our nation go to crap when NYC or LA gets vaporized. What I would suggest is that the USA provide Chechnya 'peaceful' nuclear technology, with our FIRM guarantees that we will monitor the situation to make sure all the fissal material gets back to us. It's what Kennedy or Reagan would do in dealing with the Russians. They only respect and respond to hard ball.
