Iran Has No WMD — Russia’s Intelligence Chief
mosnews || February 24, 2006
Iran has no weapons of mass destruction or material for constructing them, a deputy head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service Vladimir Zavershinsky said in an interview with Krasnaya Zvezda daily.
“We have no data that Iran has any nuclear warheads or sufficient amount of plutonium for constructing them,” he said.
“In our point of view, it is still possible and should be settled in peaceful manner,” Zavershinsky stressed. “What is better for world community? If nothing else, there must be a kind of a dialogue with Iran, or it will isolate itself and face sanctions that will make settlement impossible.”
“Let’s look at the map and think, what will happen if nuclear weapons are used in the region. It will be razed to the ground: problems of Palestine, Israel, Iran and Iraq will be ”solved“ simultaneously. That is why our diplomats try to keep the Iranian partners within the frames of diplomatic settlement of the problem,” Zavershinsky concluded.

However, on Tuesday Iranian nuclear negotiators ended in Moscow without any progress on proposal to enrich Iranian uranium on Russian soil. Tehran said it will consider a joint venture with Russia, and possibly others, to enrich uranium for power stations. But it reserves the right to pursue enrichment at home as well.
Talks are due to continue in Iran soon.
