Russia has repeatedly told Israel that there is no evidence Iran is aiming to get nuclear weapons, Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Sky News Arabia, according to Reuters.
“Russia, as well as the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), has never had any evidence that Iran is preparing to obtain nuclear weapons, as we have repeatedly put the Israeli leadership on notice,” Sky News Arabia quoted Putin as saying.
Russia is ready to support Iran in developing a peaceful nuclear programme, Putin said, adding that Iran has the right to do so.
