Andrei Nesterenko, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman SAID WITH QUOTE, ´´During the discussion of Iran nuclear program, Russia expressed it´s opinion that Tehran must be more active in its cooperation with the IAEA and the six countries involved in the negotiating process and give more information about its nuclear program. The international community needs to know for certain that it is peaceful,"


The International Atomic Energy Agency suggested on Thursday for the first time that Iran was actively chasing a nuclear weapons capability now, rather than merely having done so in the past.

The comments reinforce indications that Moscow´s patience with Tehran is wearing thin and the Kremlin is aligning itself more closely with Western demands for U.N. sanctions.

The United States is leading a push for the U.N. Security Council to impose a fourth round of sanctions.
