Russia to Iran: Explain Military Components of Nuclear Program
(Reuters) Alexei Anishchuk - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev ratcheted up the pressure on Iran on Thursday, urging it to explain the "military components" of its nuclear program. "Iran is our rather active trading partner and has been tested by time, but that does not mean we are indifferent to the way Iran is developing its nuclear program and we are not indifferent to how the military components of the corresponding program look," Medvedev said. "In this respect, we are waiting for the appropriate explanations from Iran," he said. Russia is preparing to start up the reactors at Iran's first nuclear power station.
