No big surprise here.
Iran said Sunday it had ruled out a proposal to move its uranium enrichment program to Russia, further complicating the international dispute over the country’s nuclear program.
Iran wants nothing to do with legitimate international monitoring of their nuclear development.
Russia has sought to persuade Iran to move its enrichment program to Russian territory to allow closer international monitoring. The U.S. and the European Union had backed the idea as a way to ensure Iran would not misuse the process to make nuclear weapons.
With proper monitoring this is a shaky proposition at best. Without it the possibilities are scary and unacceptable.
