PanARMENIAN.Net - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned on
Wednesday, Oct 10, that the use of force against Tehran would spell
the end of the negotiating process on Iran's nuclear program, RIA
Novosti reported.
"Time and again we hear threats that if there is no progress on Iran's
nuclear program only one option will remain - the use of force. We
hope that will never happen," he said. "This is a straight path to
undermining the efforts to resolve all outstanding issues."
The most important thing today is to focus on the work of the "five
plus one" group, the minister said, adding there was hope for "a way
out of the impasse."
Iran's envoy to Moscow Seyyed Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi last Monday
reaffirmed Tehran's readiness to hold talks with the six major world
powers (P5+1). He added, however, that a precondition was that the
West should abandon its hostile position toward the Islamic Republic.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies accuse Iran of
pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program. Iran
rejects the allegations, arguing that it is entitled to develop and
acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
