IVANOV: WAR WITH IRAN, CATASTROPHIC
Press TV, Iran
April 11 2007
Russia's first Deputy Prime Minister, Sergei Ivanov, has warned that
a war against Iran would lead to some certain catastrophe.
Speaking in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, he said, "The Iranian issue
needs to be resolved in a political and diplomatic way, as a threat
of war is a road to nowhere, or to a catastrophe." Ivanov added that
Iran had the right to pursue the development of its nuclear energy but
the uranium enrichment issue is a separate and controversial matter.
He believes that the only rational and productive solution is for
uranium enrichment activities to be controlled by the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). He added that the percentage of Iran's
uranium enrichment must be monitored closely.
Iran announced on Monday that it had begun producing nuclear fuel on an
industrial scale as part of its peaceful nuclear program and reiterated
plans to continue enlarging its nuclear fuel production capacity.
