Russian President Vladimir Putin said Iran must do more to assure the world that its nuclear program is peaceful and not designed to build a bomb.
Putin, speaking today at a news conference in Jerusalem, said Iran must go beyond the agreement it signed in February to return the spent nuclear fuel it buys from Russia.
“I agree that this is not enough,” Putin said in remarks broadcast on Israel Radio. “Iran should abandon all technology to create a full nuclear cycle and not obstruct nuclear sites from international control.”
The U.S. has accused Iran of enriching uranium intended for nuclear power production so that the material can be used in a weapon.
Putin met with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and President Moshe Katzav, who expressed concern that Iran may target Israel if it develops nuclear weapons.
