MOSCOW: Reiterating the need for a diplomatic solution of the vexed Iranian nuclear problem, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday urged Tehran to fully cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency to fully (IAEA) thrash out all the remaining issues.

According to the Kremlin press office release, in his telephonic conversation with his Iranian counterpart Mahmoudy Ahmadinejad, Medvedev "urged Iran to fully cooperate" with the UN nuclear watchdog to clarify all the remaining issues."

"Medvedev once more expressed Russia's view that the dispute over the Islamic Republic's controversial uranium enrichment programme should be resolved through diplomacy," the release said.

Russia, which is completing a nuclear power plant in Bushehr and has delivered nuclear fuel to the country, has been acting as a key mediator between the West and Tehran.

This is such a remarkable crock.

Elbaradei (Mooslim from Egypt) has been running interference for every towel-bedecked tinpot stooge in Mecca-land since day one.

The IAEA is a JOKE.

When Russia urges anything … look at the other side of the coin.

Russia is giving Iran nuclear fuel and has thousands of technicians working on Iran's nuclear program. They are directly responsible for Iran getting nukes. And when Iran gets and uses them, Russia should be included fully in the return address.
