MOSCOW, Nov 30 (Reuters) – Russia is seriously concerned by Iranian plans to expand its uranium enrichment programme, local news agencies quoted a source in Russia's foreign ministry as saying on Monday.
"Russia is seriously concerned by the latest statements of the Iranian leadership," the source was quoted as saying.
Iran announced plans on Sunday to build 10 new uranium enrichment plants in a major expansion of its atomic programme, just days after the U.N. nuclear watchdog rebuked it for carrying out such work in secret. (Reporting by Oleg Shchedrov, writing by Guy Faulconbridge, editing by Dmitry Solovyov)
