Kommersant: The United States Divides the Kremlin
?If we are so concerned that Iran may be making nuclear weapons, why are the Russians completely unconcerned? They are even helping the Iranians.? Fox anchor John Gibson asked....
The ambassador's answer was unexpected. He told of how passionate arguments over Iran were going in within the Kremlin right now. According to Bolton, several high Russian officials are concerned that, not far at all from the Russian border, there is a state that could soon have nuclear arms. That group is inclined to apply pressure on Iran, Bolton says. The American administration has to do everything it can to see that that point of view prevails in the Kremlin. But there is a second, pro-Iranian group of Kremlin officials as well, who point out that Iran is causing a lot of problems for the United States, many more than for Russia. ?That is a dangerous game,? Bolton noted.
