Putin Is Said to Offer Idea on Standoff Over Iran

By NAZILA FATHI
Published: October 18, 2007

TEHRAN, Oct. 17 — Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, proposed a new way to help resolve the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program during an extraordinary meeting with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the country’s chief nuclear negotiator on Wednesday.

The negotiator, Ali Larijani, told reporters that Mr. Putin, who was granted an audience with Ayatollah Khamenei on Tuesday evening, “offered a special proposal.” Neither the Iranians nor the Russians would disclose any details, but Mr. Larijani said the Iranian side was studying it.

“One of the issues he brought up was his view on the nuclear issue,” Mr. Larijani said, according to the ISNA news agency. “We are reviewing it now.”

State-run television and news agencies quoted Ayatollah Khamenei as telling Mr. Putin, “We will think about what you said and about your proposal,” even as he added that Iran was “determined to provide our country’s need for nuclear energy.”

6. Hard to believe Iran would trade away the leverage it has over nukes
for nothing from the USA. USA does have sanctions on Iran from 1980.

7. I Can See Who Really Is The Focal Point Of
getting their panties in a knot over Iran:

>>>"Just hours after Mr. Putin left Iran, Israel announced that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert would visit Russia on Thursday for what one official described as a “last-minute, urgent meeting.”"<<<

Someone give that man a fucking tranquilizer! Sheesh. :eyes:
And people like this are the ones that have their finger ready to push the button, not Iran!

Israel just like the U.S., needs to calm down mind their own business, and Shut The Fuck Up.:grr:
