Summary
Iran behaves irresponsibly regarding concerns of the international society over Tehran's controversial nuclear program, the Russian president said.The United States and other Western countries suspect Iran of developing nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear energy program and are seeking new sanctions following Iran's move to enrich uranium to 20%. Iran so far does not show proper understanding and behaves irresponsibly enough. This is all sad of course. Therefore, if this situation continues we exclude nothing and sanctions as well, Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview. Sanctions of course are bad in their nature as they seldom yield results.Russia and China insist on resolving Iran's nuclear issue peacefully, but the United States, Britain, France and Germany are pushing for harsher sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
