Moscow Will Consider Sanctions Against Iran
Tehran, Dec. 02, 09 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Rsussian News Agency Itar Tass, today quoted a Russian diplomat whose name was not revealed that Moscow is going to be ready to support more sanctions against Iran if talks fail to resolve the Iranian nuclear program issue.
The Russian diplomat said, 'We do not want isolation. If everyone agrees on sanctions, we will not stay aside, then we will start to consider (the sanctions) 'This is not the question of several hours or even weeks, but we must make up our mind,' he added.
The diplomat also said Russia and the other memebrs at the group 5+1 will keep working and holding negotiations but bear in mind the possibility of sanctions when every member agrees on that.
Russia has been having its own tactical-short term diplomatic maneuvers with respect to Iran. It on one hand participates in Iranian nuclear technology but drag the process so long that no other country in the world would feel signing any turn-key contracts with Moscow.
The Russians also signed an S-300 contract with Iran and again failed on the delivery of the system over six month. Moscow also supported the IAEA's resolution against Iran, last week. later, Russian Energy Minister traveled to Tehran and assured Iranians that the Bushehr nuclear power plant would be completed on time.
Iranian officials earlier dismissed talks of further sanction and vowed to continue on with the county's nuclear program without stop.
