MOSCOW, March 20 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's Security Council has denied reports in the U.S. media that Moscow issued an ultimatum to Iran over its uranium enrichment activities, the council's press service said Tuesday.

Iran has been at the center of international concerns since January 2006 over its nuclear program, which some countries, particularly the United States, suspect is geared toward nuclear weapons development. Tehran has consistently denied the claims, saying it needs nuclear power for civilian purposes.

"The allegations made in The New York Times that Russia delivered an ultimatum during Russian-Iranian consultations March 12 in Moscow have no relation to reality," the service said.

It said there was no link between a resolution of Iran's nuclear problem and completion of the Bushehr nuclear power plant by the Russian side.

I don't believe a single thing EITHER of these petty autocratic tyrants says (and that includes their mouthpieces).

Assume that they are both lying. That's the best bet here.
