俄罗斯总统梅德韦杰夫呼吁伊朗采取负责任的行动，帮助消除有关其核项目的国际争议。
俄罗斯媒体援引梅德韦杰夫的话说，伊朗应该以透明的态度进行核活动。他还警告说，如果“非常严重的事态发生”，可能导致人道主义灾难。他未就此问题作进一步阐述。
作为联合国安理会常任理事国成员之一的俄罗斯尚未排除支持对伊朗实施新制裁。俄罗斯说，任何制裁的目的必须是防止核武器扩散，而不是惩罚伊朗整个国家。
西方国家指责伊朗打着民用能源项目的幌子企图发展核武器，而伊朗否认这一指控。
Russian President Dmitri Medvedev has called on Iran to act responsibly to help end an international dispute over its nuclear program.
Russian media quote Mr. Medvedev as saying Iran should conduct its nuclear activities in a transparent manner. He also warned of a humanitarian disaster if, in his words, “something very serious happens.” He did not elaborate.
Russia, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, has not ruled out supporting new sanctions against Iran. Moscow says any such sanctions must be aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons rather than punishing Iran as a whole.
Western nations accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under cover of a civilian energy program – a charge Tehran denies.
