Russia urges Iran to work with IAEA

Russia urges Iran to work with IAEAIn the wake of two fresh nuclear advances, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has urged Iran to continue dialogue with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Russia has criticized a report by the IAEA accusing Iran of designing an atom bomb, saying it contained no new evidence and was being used to undercut efforts to reach a diplomatic solution. Tehran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful but the United States and its allies fear it is aimed at developing the capability to build atomic weapons.
