Well, it looks like the powers are awaking from slumber, that is, of course, if the report is to be believed.
2. Where's the problem?
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.20.10)
Russia sells the S-300/400 and any other advanced military equipment to Syria or any other Iranian proxy.
3. The new World
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (05.20.10)
you can’t stop technological advancement with bombs, you can’t stop nations from wanting as good or better weapons than their enemies have, and you can’t stop second- or third-tier powers from wanting to join the first tier. That’s the way the world is. If Mother Russia would chose to sell those weapons,they can do it with out you not finding out. No matter how many satellites monitor trade between russia and iran,it would still be impossible to stop them.
4. However,the nitty gritty is" Reactor" Construction

Like Russia will cooperate with that sanction. Who do you think has been building Iran's nukes all along? That's right. Our "buddies" in Russia. But, no matter. God said that Israel isn't going anywhere. That means it doesn't matter what Russia, Iran, or anybody else does. It doesn't matter what the idiots in the Obama administration say. God wins, they lose. That's it.
6. Iran new Russian built reactor go online in August
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (05.20.10)
Iran already has 4 Chinese build S300 systems that have been upgraded but only 2 are currently in operation. Are these upgraded systems as hard to jam as the Russia upgraded one are is a big question. If the Iranian reactor is to be bombed then that must happen before it go online. Iran is also reported to have 2 soviet built nukes they got from the blackmarket, also launched a small satellite earlier this year so they now have some ballistic missiles. Before the end of August, Iran will be attacked or become a nuclear power.
7. No sanctions will be imposed on Iran, it is your piped dream
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.20.10)
There is no WESTERN diplomats seeking such sanctions other than AMERICAN ZIONISTS and ISRAELI ZIONISTS Even France stoped short of supporting Zionist causes against Iran You DONOT READ RUSSIAN news agencies, they are AGAINST ANY SANCTIONS You are just producing nonsense. Iran achieve a big diplomatic counteraction agreeing Brazilian and Turkish intermediary solution and in fact all rest of the world now see Iran was justified
8. weapons Iran
ray stuart ,   zurich Switzerland   (05.20.10)
When will the world Really wake up and realise that it is Irans final objective to build a bomb and try to destroy Israel All these wet liberals would think different if they were under a threat from Iran Israel is not a perfect country but many other countries could learn how Israel really care not only about its own people but also civilians on the other side of these warmongers
9. one step
dani   (05.20.10)
when this is done, israel must start to put much more pressure on hezbollah. the UN must demand that they are disarmed,that their weapons be given to the legitimate government of lebanon. if the lebanese had the weapons instead of the iranians, they could actually defend themselves from the iranians and syrians who infest their country. i know lebanon has no love for israel, but a free, independent and strong lebanon would be a major stabilizing force in the middle east. ultimately, in the setting of a peace treaty with the palestinians, lebanon and israel could become peaceful neighbors.
10. When will the world wake up
Roger ,   USA   (05.20.10)
When will the world wake up and see that all Iran wants from nuclear weapons is not to be attacked by Israel?
11. Proposal come and proposals go...
Persian CAT   (05.20.10)
that's all folks.
12. #11 Persian Kitty
Dr.Strangelove ,   Los Alamos   (05.20.10)
Planes, ships, and subs carrying nuclear materiel also come, and after deposting their payload, go.
13. If Iran Cannot Defend With Conventional Weapons...
Reader ,   from Edmonton   (05.21.10)
does that not increase the likelihood that Iran would go nuclear? If Iran is not permitted conventional defenses and has no nuclear deterrent, is it more likely to be attacked?
