In attempt to prevent the Iranians in developing nuclear capability,Secret approach can breaks stalemate.
Today Russia signalled that they are ready to accept a secret offer given by Barack Obama(US President) in order to drop US plans for a European missile defence system in return for Moscow’s help in dealing with Iran.
Obama’s move in breaking the Stalemate have been considered as a bold one , which has lasted years, over attempts at preventing Iran securing a nuclear weapons capability.
This special offer was made by Obama last month in a letter to the Russian president,Dmitri Medvedev. Officials told the New York Times that while it did not offer a direct quid pro quo, the letter was intended to give Moscow an incentive to join the United States in a common front against Iran.
For that Medvedev responded today as that in dealing with Iranian nuclear standoff Moscow will cooperate with Washington.
Medvedev said that he had talked with Barack Obama through phone and exchanged letters with him.He also told that there was "no talk about some kind of trade-off, or quid pro quo."
"No, issues haven’t been put that way, it would be unproductive," Medvedev said at a news conference following talks with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
During the Bush years,Russia has opposed the establishment of the US missile defence system in Eastern Europe,as they thought this as threat.
If Russia was to join the US and Europe in imposing severe sanctions on Tehran, this might increase the pressure on the Iranian administration.
The offer was disclosed by a Russian news agency and confirmed by US officials on Monday.
Moreover Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of stateis scheduled to meet the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, in Geneva on FridIf
