Russia criticises Iran over uranium enrichment
Russia’s Foreign Ministry today criticised Iran after its president said Tehran had successfully enriched uranium for the first time, a potential step toward developing nuclear weapons, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.
“We believe that this step is wrong. It goes in contradiction to decisions of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and resolutions of the UN Security Council,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin was quoted as saying by ITAR-Tass.
