Putin set to bait US with nuclear aid for Tehran

This shows that the conflict between the U.S. and Russia is heating up rather than cooling down. The U.S. should have known that any co-operation with the U.S. on Iran would be bound to be jeopardised if it continues to ignore any of Russia's complaints about U.S. activity on the missile defence system in Eastern Europe, the recognition of Kosovo, and the arming and training of Georgian armed forces. If Georgia ever does join NATO this is a recipe for disaster and a possible third world war.

Russia is considering increasing its assistance to Iran’s nuclear programme in response to America’s calls for Nato expansion eastwards and the presence of US Navy vessels in the Black Sea delivering aid to Georgia.
The Kremlin is discussing sending teams of Russian nuclear experts to Tehran and inviting Iranian nuclear scientists to Moscow for training, according to sources close to the Russian military.
Moscow has been angered by Washington’s promise to give Georgia £564m in aid following the Russian invasion of parts of the country last month after Tbilisi’s military offensive. Kremlin officials suspect the US is planning to rearm the former Soviet republic and is furious at renewed support for attempts by Georgia and Ukraine to join Nato.
Last week a third US Navy ship entered the Black Sea with aid bound for Georgia. Moscow has accused the Americans of using the vessels to deliver weapons but has failed to provide any evidence.
