Russian military stalls on reports Ukraine sold warheads to Iran

MOSCOW, April 3 (RIA Novosti) - The chief of Russia's General Staff said Monday he could neither confirm nor deny reports that Ukraine had sold 250 nuclear warheads to Iran.

"Russia's General Staff has no information about whether Ukraine has given 250 nuclear warheads to Iran or not," General Yury Baluyevsky, also deputy defense minister, said in response to an article in Novaya Gazeta newspaper Monday. "I do not comment on unsubstantiated reports."

The newspaper said that Ukraine had failed to return 250 warheads to Russia in the 1990s when the former Soviet republic declared itself a nuclear-free zone. The paper suggested the warheads could have been sold to a third country, including Iran.

OMG! Cheney's defibrillator is gonna need a new battery.

Bolton needs a Depends!

When is the new moon in Iran this month?

was well they wanted a reason to go into Iran and this may be it. I wonder how the reporter got this story, wonder if it was a plant by the admin, to scare people into bombing Iran?

Sorry, but everything seems suspicious to me these days. We've always heard stories about nukes laying around Russia, and how bad it would be if terrorist got their hands on them. (And of Course it would be bad)

I suppose if it's a real story that the admin wanted to get out, the MSM will pick it up and it's all we'll hear about. I think i'll watch CNN tonight and see if Wolfie says anything about it.

you should be VERY suspicious.

Incriminate Ukraine, warn Uncle Sugar, and admit nothing. Sort of like the US' repeated assurances that it has "no plans" to bomb the shit out of Iran.
