MOSCOW—Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that Moscow will continue its nuclear cooperation with Iran and that he is convinced Tehran does not intend to develop atomic weapons.
Yeah, right.
A Russian analyst questioned whether Putin’s statement was based on actual information or on expediency.
“To my mind, it’s hard to find arguments to support Putin’s declaration,” said Anton Khlopkov, director of the PIR Center, which studies weapons issues. He noted that “Iran is potentially an important strategic partner for Russia … (with) a whole series of coinciding interests.”
