Russia's Putin to visit Tehran for nuclear talks
(Reuters)
- Russian leader Vladimir Putin will meet Iran's newly elected
president in Tehran next month to discuss restarting talks on the
Islamic Republic's nuclear program, Russian and Iranian media reports
said on Wednesday.
The Russian newspaper Kommersant quoted a
source close to the Iranian Foreign Ministry as saying President Putin
would visit on August 12, days after Hassan Rouhani is inaugurated.
Iran's Mehr news agency said Putin would travel to Iran on August 16, without citing a source.
Kremlin
spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined comment on the reports. Putin last
visited Iran in 2007 to attend a summit of states bordering the Caspian
Sea.
World powers hope Iran's relatively moderate new leader will
comply with demands for Tehran to scale back nuclear work which they
suspect is aimed at enabling it to make bombs.
Iran says it is
enriching uranium, the fissile material for atomic bombs, only to fuel
nuclear power stations and for medical purposes.

Sadly to say this is not about nuclear weapons but the petrodollar period. Who would have thought these nations in the Middle East would tell America to KMA when it comes to oil. They desire to sell their oil in many currencies and gold.
