Russia cautious as Iran talks get underway
Russia expressed limited hope today as Russian and Iranian officials started talks in Moscow on an offer to enrich uranium for Iran, seen as a final opportunity for the Islamic regime to avoid the threat of international sanctions over Western concerns it is developing nuclear weapons.
The Russian offer, backed by the United States and Europe, represents a chance for Iran to address these concerns before a March 6 meeting of the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, which could start a process leading to punishment before the UN Security Council.
