Iran-Russia deal could blunt Bush diplomacy talk

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N2H285923.htm

WASHINGTON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Thursday there was still time for diplomacy to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, but a Russian deal to provide the Islamic republic with nuclear fuel in defiance of the United States was likely to rekindle fears of confrontation. snip

"As you know, the Iranian issue hasn't even gotten to the (U.N.) Security Council yet. And so there's more diplomacy, in my judgment, to be done," Bush told a news conference called to present his new U.S. intelligence czar. snip

Bush in 2002 grouped Iran with North Korea and Saddam Hussein's Iraq into what he called an "axis of evil."

But he told the news conference that Iran was different from Iraq, which the United States invaded over allegations of weapons development but only after years of diplomacy. Bush said he would discuss Iran during a trip to Europe next week. snip
