We once again call on Iran to fully cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] on the basis of its board's resolution.

We are not against informing the UN Security Council about the work conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency in Iran and the steps the country has to take to improve the situation.

Many of the speakers [at a Vienna IAEA meeting] supported the proposal and praised Russia's role in the resolution of the Iranian nuclear problem.

We do not object to informing the Security Council of the United Nations about the work carried out by the agency in relation to Iran.

A thaw is a thaw: It can happen in the middle of January, and it's bound to be followed by frost - it is not a major, radical change. It has always been that way in Russia.

Russia is in a position where it can influence further developments in the situation surrounding Iran, including from the military point of view.
