The UN nuclear watchdog says it cannot confirm whether Iran's nuclear program is peaceful or not, as Tehran refuses to co-operate. Russia is toughening its stance and Iran is likely so face stern measures now.
But there’s still a difference between the Western and Russian approaches towards the issue, says Aleksey Fenenko from the World Security Research Institute.
“Washington and London proposed an idea of permanent sanctions against Iran,” Fenenko said. “Russia proposed reversible sanctions and China supported Russia here.”
The sanctions proposed by Russia can be lifted as soon as Iran gives up its uranium enrichment program, Fenenko explained.

Yes it is just a propaganda war from USA to conquer the middle east.... that's why russia and china must stop USA from attack IRAN
Yes it is just a "propaganda war"!!! The Islamic Iranian government came to power with the help of the West and is being helped to stay in power by the West , especially US and Israel. As Islam is playing the role of the enemy of the US and the West's weapon industries, it is crucial to keep the Islamic government in power to justify US's big military exports, spending and expansion. A recent usage of Iranian government for the US government is that the US wants to sell nuclear facilities to the Arabs. So The Iranian government shows teeth by saying we are moving from % 4-5 enrichment to % 20 and Hilary Clinton goes for an arms sales in the region and tells the Arabs: "look Iranians have it, you should have it too or else look at those teeth, they are going to get you."!! Is that "the cold war" the old man is talking about and the media has made us believe in??? Yes, the West used Communism to sell arms before, now they are using Iran and Islam!!!! the difference is that these overtly foes in Iran are covertly friends and have no ideological differences with the West and Ahmadinezhad was Israel's candidate in the elections and because they( West, Israel) need him, he is the president today, no one else wants him in Iran, especially those who know whom he is working for!!!!












The usual moronic intelligence of the west,sanctions dont achieve anything,it just fosters animoisty amongst its subjects ,who are the hardest hit,but then you assume our govts are intelligent.
