Iran nuclear proposals something to chew over: Russia
Moscow (AFP) Sept 10, 2009 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday that Iran's new proposals on its disputed nuclear programme offered material to work with and called on world powers to issue a unified response. "There is something to dig into," Lavrov said of the package of proposals that Iran delivered Wednesday to the six powers seeking to curb its nuclear programme, Russia, the United States, Britain, China, France and Germany.

The international community suspects that Iran's nuclear programme is aimed at producing weapons. Tehran denies those charges. Share This Article With Planet Earth
