Iran says US pressure "wrecking" Russian offer
2006-03-02
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Iran's nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said on Thursday that the United States, by pressing for Iran to be reported to the U.N. Security Council over its nuclear programme, was threatening a Russian compromise proposal, Interfax news agency said.

"The insistence of the American side on sending the Iranian nuclear dossier to the U.N. security Council shows that the Russian proposal is being wrecked," Larijani was quoted as saying at a news conference.

He spoke after talks with Russian officials on Moscow's offer to Iran to enrich uranium on Russian soil to end the confrontation with the West, which suspects Tehran of seeking to build an atomic weapon.

Larijani added no new date had been set for a fresh round of talks on the proposal.

#3  Russia has massive demographic, economic and environmental problems. Right now IIRC ethnic Chinese make up or soon will make up the majority of people east of the Urals.

It's a reality Putin et al have to deal with.
