Russia says Iran crisis must be solved in watchdog framework
Russia today said the Iranian nuclear crisis must be solved under the direction of the UN nuclear watchdog agency, and it called on Iran to co-operate more fully with the organisation.
“The search for a solution must follow the route of diplomacy, and our position is that the instrument for resolving this problem, as before, must remain the International Atomic Agency (IAEA), as we don’t have another international agency that has such authority and competence in the non-proliferation area,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Kislyak told a Moscow security conference.
