Iran Nuclear Watch: Russia – “United Nations Sanctions on Iran Would Be Ineffective”

March 8, 2006 /

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov speaks to reporters at the United Nations headquarters in New York, March 8, 2006.

Reuters: Russia opposes punitive UN Council action on Iran

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that imposing U.N. Security Council sanctions on Iran would be ineffective in convincing Tehran to curb its nuclear ambitions.

Sergei Lavrov also told reporters after meeting U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan that he opposed military action and questioned any measures the West might propose in the Security Council, saying the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency had to remain in the lead.

“We should all strive for a solution which would not endanger the ability of the IAEA to continue its work in Iran, while of course making sure that there is no danger for the nonproliferation regime,” Lavrov said.

Asked about sanctions, Lavrov said, “I don’t think sanctions as a means to solve a crisis have ever achieved a goal in the recent history.”

All of this United Nations activity is worthless and meaningless. Lavrov is correct. And Russia will be NO help to the United States in stopping Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

But, the United States and Israel will ACT in their own best interests…..

Stay tuned…….
