RUSSIA, CHINA SEEK IRAN’S CO-OPERATION

UNITED NATIONS – Russia and China have quietly made clear to the Iranian government they want Tehran to change its approach to the nuclear issue and accept a UN atomic fuel offer, Western diplomats said Tuesday.

Russia’s and China’s co-ordinated diplomatic approaches took place in Tehran around the beginning of March, according to several Western UN Security Council diplomats.

Russian frustration with Iran has been growing since Tehran snubbed a UN nuclear watchdog plan under which the Iranians would ship most of their low-enriched uranium to Russia and France for further enrichment and processing into fuel assemblies for a Tehran reactor for medical isotopes.
