Speaking to reporters during a joint press conference in Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi, both the Russian and Syrian presidents backed Iran's right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The United States and its Western allies accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, while they have never presented any corroborative document to substantiate their allegations. Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Sochi is the venue for the 2014 Winter Olympics. Kind of ironic.

Since Russian special forces moved Saddam Hussein's nuclear program to Syria (which also went to Iran), why not give your backing to these countries? Russia's involvement in developing nuclear materials for these countries is a billion dollar industry. It is a way to keep their nuclear scientists working.
I bet our satellites have every one of those centrifuges pinpointed in each of these countries. Every time they fire one off, it is like a beacon telling us they are busy making nuclear mischief.

No surprise. Russia is behind Iran's (and every hostile nation's) every move. Iraqi WMDs to Syria, courtesy of Russia. Katyusha (Russian name!) rockets in Hezbollah's hands, courtesy of Russia. Uranium and missiles in Iran, courtesy of Russia. Possible nukes to Syria, courtesy of Russia. Take a look at this sucker found in Iraq as well. Notice the Cyrillic letters....

No surprise really - didn’t we all know a statement like this was coming after the announcement with Russia/Syria the other day?
Neo-Soviet Russia has proven their alliance with the Islamic Radicals vs. the U.S.. One only wonders how long it will take the rest of the (FREE) world to realize it now...

I have long thought that Russia is in with the terrorists. Russia to me is the most dangerous country in the world and they always know how to slip in under the radar and make friends with almost everyone. Watch out for these guys.

"Russian and Syrian presidents backed Iran's right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes."As far as I've read, the US agrees.

A nuclear Iran means the West is distracted from little “adventures” like the invasion of Georgia - no wonder they want them armed.
