MOSCOW. Jan 29 (Interfax) - Tehran's intentions to enrich uranium independently will become an obstacle to the settlement of Iran's nuclear program, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko has said.
"The decision to start its own uranium enrichment which contradicts the requirements of relevant resolutions of both the UN Security Council and the IAEA Board of Governors will only aggravate the existing concerns and obstruct the speedy settlement of the situation around the Iranian nuclear program," Nesterenko said at a Friday briefing in Moscow.
