Even Russia Is Now Warning Iran To Back Off Of Its Nuke Program
I didn’t think this would happen:
Russia has threatened to back more United Nations sanctions over Iran’s nuclear programme unless it stops uranium enrichment in the next few days.
The US, Britain and France are pushing to impose new punitive measures on Iran, which they suspect of seeking to acquire a nuclear weapon.
Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s UN envoy, said Moscow could back a sanctions resolution drafted by the other three powers and which they want to discuss in the UN Security Council this week.
Russia, which has strong ties to Iran’s energy industry, has previously been reluctant to impose more sanctions.
Rusia has been a strong backer of Iran, especially in matters that involved confrontation with the West. I wonder what happened behind closed doors for their tune to change?
