Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gestures while speaking during the opening of the International Conference of Islamic World Publishers in Tehran June 20, 2010. Credit: Reuters/Morteza Nikoubazl TORONTO (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Sunday he was alarmed by U.S. assertions that Iran may have enough fuel for two nuclear weapons and warned that if confirmed the Islamic Republic may face new measures. World | Russia Central Intelligence Agency Director Leon Panetta told ABC's "This Week" television program that the agency thinks Iran has enough low-enriched uranium now for two weapons, but that Tehran would have to further enrich the material first. "As to this information -- it needs to be checked," Medvedev told reporters in Toronto, where he was attending the Group of 20 summit of rich and emerging nations. "In any case, such information is always alarming because today the international community does not recognize the Iranian nuclear program as transparent," Medvedev said. Russian leaders rarely comment on CIA statements and Medvedev's sharp comments indicate the gulf that has grown between Moscow and Tehran over recent months. The Kremlin and Tehran had a public row last month after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad admonished the Kremlin for bowing to what he said was U.S. pressure to agree further sanctions. Urged on by the Obama administration, the U.N. Security Council -- which includes Russia -- this month passed a resolution to impose new sanctions on Iran over its nuclear development. "If it is shown that what the American special services say is true then it will of course make the situation more tense, and I do not exclude that this question would have to be looked at additionally," Medvedev said. The United States, key European Union powers and Israel say Iran is trying to use its civilian nuclear program to hide an attempt to create an atomic bomb, an assertion Tehran denies. Russia has repeatedly called on Iran to remove the doubts that the international community have and earlier this year one of Russia's top security officials said that Western concerns were valid. The CIA said that for Iran to have enough nuclear material for bombs, it would have to enrich its low-enriched uranium. "We would estimate that if they made that decision, it would probably take a year to get there, probably another year to develop the kind of weapons delivery system in order to make that viable," CIA chief Panetta said. (Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge; Editing by David Storey) World Russia Comments See All Comments (21) | Post Comment Jun 27, 2010 10:28pm EDT We really need Russia to pressure Iran and make Iran feel boxed in completely. China could help to this degree as well STORYBURNcool Report As Abusive Jun 27, 2010 10:33pm EDT Question: why Iran will never have nukes? Answer: because there’s Israeli Air Force. anonym0us Report As Abusive Jun 27, 2010 10:35pm EDT the Russians are playing a double game, the majority of foreign nuclear engineers in Iran are Russian, Russia has the full knowledge of at least the enrichment process in Iran (if not the bomb project) and yet they claim to be surpised by the CIA’s report about the volume of Iran’s enriched uranium!! Now another problem is that we’d never know if Iran has ever purchased enriched uranium or even complete nuke warheads from the black markets through Russian mafia, Pakistan, China or North Korea and now just waiting to be capable of mass producing and once has enoough Nukes to cause enough destruction to Israel, Europe, US military bases and other infidels and other non-Shia Muslims to facilitate the appearence of the 12th Imam. You people think I’m joking about a nuclear war plans because you don’t know nothing about the ideology behind the Islamic Republic CyrusShares Report As Abusive Jun 27, 2010 10:52pm EDT Washington’s “double standard” on Iran, a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), while selling “nuclear technology to Israel and India,” a non-signatory to the NPT. US continues its annual $3 billion assistance to Israel, despite an American law forbidding aid to any country producing weapons of mass destruction. Not only did ISRAEL THREATEN TO SEND SYRIA BACK TO STONE AGE, did Massacre on Freedom Flotilla BUT ALSO Israel offered to sell apartheid-era South Africa nuclear warheads in 1975.Israel opposes creating a nuclear weapons-free zone until Middle East peace has been achieved. Iran is a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, is at the moment FULLY in compliance with it, has no nuclear arsenal, and does not even have a nuclear weapons program. (The treaty allows countries to enrich uranium for fuel, which is all that Iran is known to be doing). NPT signatories have treaty-based rights to seek civilian energy production, either by enriching uranium or separating plutonium. Article IV: 1. Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with Articles I and II of this Treaty. 2. All the Parties to the Treaty undertake to facilitate, and have the right to participate in, the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials and scientific and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Parties to the Treaty in a position to do so shall also co-operate in contributing alone or together with other States or international organizations to the further development of the applications of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, especially in the territories of non-nuclear-weapon States Party to the Treaty, with due consideration for the needs of the developing areas of the world. In addition, the International Atomic Energy Agency has conducted numerous inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that Iran’s civilian nuclear program has been diverted to nuclear weapons production. IRAN IS NOT A THREAT TO WORLD PEACE. HISTORY SHOWS, IRAN NEVER ATTACKED OR INVADED OTHER COUNTRIES WITH FAKE JUSTIFICATIONS AND HAS NO CIA RUNNING AROUND ACROSS THE WORLD. IN FACT, OBAMA TO MAKE WORLD WAR III ON BEHALF OF UNBREAKABLE BOND ISRAEL, TO MAKE IRAN LIKE IRAQ WITH NEVER-BEEN-FOUND WMD. Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter sets out the UN Security Council’s powers to maintain peace. It allows the Council to “determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression” and to take military and nonmilitary action to “restore international peace and security”. CHAPTER VII OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER ARTICLE 51 PROVIDES FOR THE RIGHT OF COUNTRIES TO ENGAGE IN MILITARY ACTION IN SELF DEFENSE, INCLUDING COLLECTIVE SELF DEFENSE FOR IRAN. lipservice16 Report As Abusive Jun 27, 2010 10:56pm EDT The Iran nuclear program is a ruse to cover the fact that they are working with Al-Qaeda and the Taliban to acquire weapons from Pakistan. They will likely have acquired weapons from Pakistan long before they could possibly build one in Iran. They have the missle technology and all they need are the warheads. This should really be of no surprise to anyone. jb77 Report As Abusive Jun 27, 2010 11:03pm EDT There will be a day when Iran is bombed into oblivion. The weapons will be extremely devastating and non-nuclear! The US is poised, rather, chomping at the bit, to deploy the new weapons it has been developing since the late 70s but only in earnest in recent years. These conventional explosives make the average nuclear warhead seem infantile. Delivery is preferably by ICBM but can be accommodated to larger type mid-range bombers as the weapon can be utilized in tandem, i.e., in multiple, separate components or fractions. The US has not had a full scale test of the weapons yet and it looks like Iran will voluntarily submit to further testing by the US. kenalexruss Report As Abusive Jun 27, 2010 11:20pm EDT What a game. I hope we are playing on the correct side. Simplerman Report As Abusive Jun 27, 2010 11:23pm EDT “We really need Russia to pressure Iran and make Iran feel boxed in completely.” Do you really want to “box in” a country governed by fanatical religious extremists who are quite willing to resort to violence and hard suppression against protesters in its own country? I personally hope the leaders of Iran never panic, as the results would surely be nasty. As to the question of whether Iran poses any kind of threat (nuclear or otherwise) to Israel, Europe or other countries, I have seen no publicly available information from which to draw a reasoned conclusion. dratman Report As Abusive Jun 27, 2010 11:26pm EDT jb77…you are a genius!!! however there are good medications available for your hallucinations, call your doctor immediately and might wanna cut down on taking too many stupid pills!!! by the way genius where is your buudy osama? how come greatest military power in the world with greatest technolgy ,can’t find bunch of ragtag cave dwellers? morons like you incite war and destruction to justify their hate . purified Report As Abusive See All Comments (21) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
