Just a day after Moscow agreed to expand cooperation with Iran on energy ties despite UN sanctions, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that it was seeking ""appropriate"" explanations from the Islamic nation on its nuclear program. He also called Tehran to fully cooperate with international community in this regard.

Despite Russia’s historically proven trade relations with Iran, Medvedev said that his government could not be indifferent to how Iran was developing its nuclear program and how its military components look like. He further said that Russia had evidences from different channels that prove that Iran was continuing developing its nuclear technology.
