Russia's position regarding Iran is simple, though almost never heard in western media:

1. Iran must work with the IAEA

and

2. Honor the non-proliferation treaty, which Tehran has signed.

Moscow is AGAINST intentional regime change in Tehran. But, it will keep to signed agreements and stay away from America's neocon agenda. The Kremlin is just as much interested in a non-nuclear Iraq as much of the world. But the rules are the rules. Moscow's position has changed not one bit - media coverage is another issue.....

Iran is to file a lawsuit against Russia at The Hague over its nuclear rights. An Iranian MP says that Iran is to file a lawsuit against Russia at The Hague, because Russia has not fulfilled its undertakings towards Iran.

Rashid Jalali, a member of Foreign Policy and National Security Commission, said that Iran is to file the lawsuit at the International Court of Justice in The Hague in the next few days, according to the Aftabnews website.

"Russia has violated a treaty which obliges it to provide the nuclear fuel necessary for Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant."

Jalali pointed to the recent remarks made by Russian officials who have said no nuclear fuel will be sent to Iran unless Iran carries out the provisions of the UN Securoty Council sanctions and added that "our agreement with Russia should not be affected by political affairs since Iran's nuclear activities date back to some 35 years ago, but the West and Russia are politicizing Iran's nuclear programs."

"As far as nuclear activities are concerned, we have always maintained that Iran should not rely on the West and Russia and we should develop it ourselves," Jalali concluded.
