MOSCOW - Russia urged global powers on Tuesday to hold new talks with Iran on its nuclear program as soon as possible, saying Tehran had proved it was ready for serious negotiations.
The remarks suggest Russia is more eager than Western nations to agree to an Iranian offer to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China which have been frozen for over a year.
"I would like to underscore Russia's interest in the Iranian side and the 'group of six' reaching agreement on a date and site for the resumption of the negotiations process as quickly as possible," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.

Of course, when the inspectors do visit those sites, and find nothing, the usual suspects bleat that thr Iranians have moved stuff, then find another base to allege hidden work is being carried out... and on and on it goes, all the while going nowhere, proving nothing, but gives the warmongers something to beat off over!

I fail to see how Russia can be convinced. Iran is getting a little repetitive if you ask me. They will let the inspectors into the country, but as soon as they ask to inspect somewhere that may be used to make weapons they are told no. Then a month or so later Iran will say "Oh, you wanted to see there? My bad. Come on in." Which will have given them ample time to move/hide stuff.
I am in no means advocating that Iran should be attacked, but if any one seriously thinks Iran is being open and honest here needs to give their head a shake.

This is like your neighbour demanding the police search your home because they allege you are up to something illegal, and expecting them to do so without due cause or a warrant. To go ahead and do so would be illegal under the law, and this issue with Iranian inspections really is not much different.

If Iran has nothing to hide why don't they provide total access to the inspectors?
They saw what happened to Iraq the same thing will happen in Iran if they refuse to comply.
I am not saying it's right or wrong I'm just stating the obvious.
