Russia-Iran:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Official Proposes Working Group to Ease U.S. WorriesFrom Tuesday, May 7, 2002 issue.
Russia is proposing to create a working group with the United States to resolve U.S. concerns over Russian nuclear cooperation with Iran, Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said yesterday (see GSN, May 6).
Russia is providing nuclear technology assistance to Iran, but “exclusively for peaceful purposes,” such as the Bushehr nuclear power plant project, Ivanov said in a speech at Stanford University in California. To address U.S. concerns on issues such as nuclear and ballistic missile technology, Russia would like to establish working groups similar to the U.S.-Russian working group for Afghanistan, he said (RIA, BBC Worldwide Monitoring, May 7).
