Russia: Iran's noncooperation 'very alarming'
None
Russia's foreign minister said he is "very alarmed" over Iran's failure to prove its nuclear program is peaceful, suggesting Moscow may be closer to acceding to Western demands for new UN sanctions against Tehran.
Sergey Lavrov's deputy said later Friday, however, that Russia was still against crippling sanctions, returning to the traditional rhetoric Moscow has used for its "partner" and business ally. (AP)
