Credit: Reuters/Raheb Homavandi TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday Russia's support for new U.N. sanctions against Iran was unacceptable and called on President Dmitry Medvedev to rethink his support for the U.S.-led move. World | Russia Iran was snubbed by Russia and China last week when, just hours after it offered to ship some of its enriched uranium abroad, Washington announced that all five members of the U.N. Security Council backed a new sanctions draft. In an unusually strong criticism of the Russian government, Ahmadinejad used a televised outdoor speech to directly address Medvedev who, he said, had bowed to U.S. pressure to support the squeeze on Iran over its nuclear program. "If I were the Russian president, when making decisions about subjects related to a great nation (Iran) ... I would act more cautiously, I would think more," Ahmadinejad said. "The Iranian nation doesn't know: are they (the Russians) our friends and neighbors? Are they with us or are they looking for something else?" He said Russia should not support countries which had "shown animosity to us for 30 years," referring to the United States, which has led the global push for new sanctions. "This is not acceptable for the Iranian nation. I hope they (Russia) will pay attention and take corrective action," he said. "I am hopeful that Russian leaders and authorities will pay attention to these friendly words and take corrective action and not let the Iranian nation consider them among the ranks of its historic enemies." MISSILES, POWER PLANT Russia and China have been far less hawkish on sanctions than the United States and Europe and, despite agreeing on the Security Council draft, ensured tougher measures that could cripple the OPEC oil producer's vital energy trade were kept out. Russia has yet to deliver an order of S-300 surface to air missiles which could help Iran fend off any future attack on its nuclear facilities. It is also helping build the long-delayed Bushehr nuclear power station. Russian officials have said sanctions will not affect the missiles order or work at Bushehr which is supposed to begin operating in August. But a deterioration in diplomatic relations is unlikely to help either project progress. Pyotr Goncharov, a Moscow-based specialist on the Gulf, told Reuters Moscow would be surprised by Ahmadinejad's rhetoric. "Moscow has repeatedly saved Iran from very tough sanctions, so Ahmadinejad's defiance is quite frankly out of place. It is simply the latest attempt by the Iranian president to lay the blame for his own problems at someone else's door," he said. Ahmadinejad said the nuclear fuel swap agreed with Turkey and Brazil last week and presented to the International Atomic Energy Agency on Monday was a "historic opportunity" to break the deadlock and that U.S. President Barack Obama should seize it. "It is unlikely that in future the Iranian nation will give a new opportunity to Mr Obama," he said. Washington and many European countries are concerned that Iran's uranium enrichment is aimed at attaining nuclear weapons capability. Iran says it is for purely peaceful purposes and says it has a sovereign right to pursue nuclear technology. Western critics of the deal with Turkey and Brazil say it would still leave Iran with enough material for one bomb, if enriched to high purity, and that it does not address what they see as an escalation of Iran's enrichment program. Ahmadinejad said the Tehran accord was Iran's "final word." "If they told us the truth and they are looking for cooperation they should behave according to the articles of this declaration," he said. "If they are seeking excuses they should know the path of any action and constructive dialogue will be closed in the future."

He is doing his country harm every time he opens his mouth to speak. searider Report As Abusive May 26, 2010 11:18am EDT I don’t think it’s quite accurate to consider Iran’s “leader”, even though he is the president. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the country’s supreme leader, and I doubt much Iranian policy is made without his approval. LincolnWeeps Report As Abusive May 26, 2010 11:38am EDT “If I were the Russian president, when making decisions about subjects related to a great nation (Iran) … I would act more cautiously, I would think more,” Ahmadinejad said. Well Ahmadinejad your not the Russian president. And as for thinking more. Doesn’t one have to possess a brain before the thinking process can even begin?
