BRUSSELS (Reuters) – NATO urged Russia on Friday to help other global powers put the maximum possible diplomatic pressure on Iran not to develop nuclear weapons.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen made the appeal before talks on October 1 between Iran and world powers including the United States, and as part of proposals to improve cooperation between the defense alliance and Moscow.
His comments followed remarks by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in which the Kremlin leader said he did not rule out new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.
