JERUSALEM — Russia's foreign minister is expressing little concern
over U.S. claims that Iran has enough uranium to make two nuclear bombs
within two years, saying the information is not new.
Speaking in
Israel on Tuesday, Sergey Lavrov responded to a new CIA assessment that
Iran could produce the bombs by further enriching uranium it already
has.
Lavrov said the International Atomic Energy Agency has
already said Iran has 2,000 kilograms of uranium enriched to a low
level, enough for two bombs if further enriched.
Lavrov said
Russia hopes Iran would agree to stop uranium enrichment in return for
receiving nuclear fuel from Russia.
Lavrov's Israeli counterpart,
Avigdor Lieberman, said Iran's nuclear program posed the "biggest
threat" to Mideast stability.
