MOSCOW — Russia's Foreign Ministry said Friday the U.N. Security Council cannot consider levying sanctions against Iran until it's proven Tehran's nuclear program is not exclusively for peaceful purposes, a Russian news agency reported.
Russian officials had said previously that they were awaiting an April 28 report by the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, Mohamed ElBaradei, before deciding Moscow's position on further steps to resolve the Iran crisis.

Looks like the Mods brought their A game - as usual.
There is no proof that we can provide that would convince Russia that Iran's motives aren't peaceful because Russia's motives aren't peaceful either.
That's probably what he wants!
I disagree 1000%. I do not trust the Russians leadership at all. All countries have their own interests but Putin has done everything, along with the Chinese to undermine the US. Look at the UN resolutions before the US went after Iraq. They are not our friend !
Russian leaders do whatever pads their bank accounts... as it always has been.
If that was Moscow under there would that be proof enought, Ivan?
The proof is their nuke capable missiles bought from North Korea.
Then you are part of an ever shrinking minority.
The cold war is re-emerging against a Russian/Chinese axis.
This is not good for global trade.
BUMP
The Russians are just buying time so they can continue to sell Iran weapons, high technology and intelligence. Moscow will keep this up until the very last minute, and then join the US, Britain, France and Germany in coming down hard on the mullahs in Tehran.
When Russia and Iran and other allies come against Israel, Watch what God does.
What part of the comment from the President of Iran about destroying Israel do these Russians not understand?
"For Putin, a mushroom cloud over DC or NYC would be all the evidence he needs."
It could very well be Moscow. What makes Putin think radical Islamists with nukes won't include Chechens?
What on earth is that a shot from?
From Almamajadaharadingdong's "World Without Zionism" speech... google that phrase and you'll know more than you ever wanted to know about it. The man is seriously homicidal.
Thanks, I did an image search for the name and see that the pic is the conference logo.
"Once again the UN will turn a blind eye towards a crisis. Can we NOW GET THEM OUT OF THE US AND THE US OUT OF THE UN.
Maybe someday a Saudi or UAE cargo jet will be hijacked and flown into the UN building, because that is what it will take to get rid of the UN from our soil."
Hmph....intresting....
I wonder what the world's reaction might be if Isreal stated their goal was to wipe Iran off the map? Now that would be intresting :)
