Putin is naive towards the Seyyeds

President Vladimir Putin has urged Iran to freeze its controversial uranium enrichment programme, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday, Interfax reported.

In a meeting Tuesday with Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, Putin repeated his "call for freezing work on uranium enrichment," Interfax quoted Lavrov as saying.

How strange that the Russians are toeing the US line. After China stopping a lot of credit lines to the Seyyeds, everyone was thinking that the Russians were going stump the coalition. Obviously the world values its trade relations with the US more than the Seyyeds. The US has made it quite clear that it will not allow companies that trade with the Seyyeds to trade with the US as well.
