U.S. Asks Russia to Warn Iran

March 14, 2012

The United States has asked Russia to inform Iran's leadership that forthcoming talks with six world powers over its nuclear program represents Tehran's "last chance," Kommersant said Wednesday.

"The Americans are insisting that it [the meeting] is the last chance for Tehran," the newspaper said, attributing the information to a diplomatic source. "Such a position was stated by Hillary Clinton at talks with Sergei Lavrov.

She also asked her Russian colleague to pass on this message to Iranian authorities with whom Washington does not have any links."
