Vance thus referred in an interview with ABC television to the entry of Medvedev, former president and deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, who He stated that after an American attack on Iranian atomic objects, it is certain that this country will produce nuclear weapons, and that “many countries are ready to directly provide Iran with nuclear heads.”
– Well, first, I think This is a strange answer, but I do not know if this guy speaks on behalf of President Putin or the Russian government Vance said. – One of the things we have caught in our conversations with the Russians over the past few months, despite our numerous misunderstandings with the Russian state, that they were very consistent and do not want Iran to obtain nuclear weapons – he added.
Vance noted that one of the few things connecting the US, China and Russia is opposition to the “nuclear arms race” in the Middle East.
– So what the president did was very important. I will allow President Putin to comment on the official position of Russia in this matter, but I am sure that both in terms of Russia and China, And most importantly, of course about us, we do not want Iran to have a nuclear weapon He added.
Iran still has uranium supplies
In an interview with ABC Vance, he suggested that despite the “serious damage” caused by an American attack on three Iran atomic objects, Tehran still has stocks of enriched uranium.
– We will work in the coming weeks to make sure that we do something with this fuel, and this is one of the things we will talk about with the Iranians. But we know that they no longer have the opportunity to transform this supply of high -enriched uranium into uranium required for the production of nuclear weapons, and this was really our goal – said the vice president.
On Sunday, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the American attack on Iran's nuclear installations, calling him “irresponsible decision” and calling for “to stop aggression and increase efforts to create conditions for returning to the path of politics and diplomacy.”
The Kremlin announced that Putin is currently not planning a conversation with Donald Trump in connection with the US attack on Iran, but such a conversation “can be organized quickly”.
