Moscow: Russia has warned over the use of force against Tehran which could
spell the end of the negotiating process on Iranian nuclear
programme.
"Time and again we hear threats that if there is no progress on
Iran's nuclear programme only one option will remain - the use of
force. We hope that will never happen," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday.
"This is a straight path to undermining the efforts to resolve all
outstanding issues."
The most important thing today is to focus on the work of the
"five plus one" group, the minister said, adding there was hope
for "a way out of the impasse."
Iranian envoy to Moscow Seyed Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi last Monday
reaffirmed Tehran's readiness to hold constructive talks with the
six major world powers (P5+1).
He added, however, that a precondition was that the West should
abandon its hostile position toward the Islamic Republic.
The US, Israel and some of their allies accuse Iran of pursuing
non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy programme.
Iran rejects the allegations, arguing that it is entitled to
develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
