Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has urged Russia, to support Teheran over its nuclear fuel exchange deal, saying Moscow should be "more careful" in the stances it adopts, Iranian Press TV said on Sunday.
"If I were in the Russian officials' shoes, I would be more careful in making remarks about this great neighbor of theirs
," Ahmadinejad said.
A trilateral agreement on uranium exchange was reached on Monday by Iran, Turkey and Brazil, setting out terms under which Iran will send 1.2 tons of its low-enriched uranium to get 120 kg of enriched to 20% uranium fuel. The swap will be carried out throughout the year on Turkey's territory.
However, the so-called Iran Six - the United States, Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia - discussed on Tuesday a draft Security Council resolution expanding sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.

The head of the upper house's international relations committee, Mikhail Margelov, said Friday proposed new UN sanctions against Iran would not stop Russia from fulfilling its contract to deliver S-300 surface-to-air missile systems to the Islamic Republic.
Moscow signed a contract on supplying Iran with at least five S-300 systems in December 2005. However, the contract's implementation by Russia has so far been delayed.

"Discussed" sounds a little different that the "agreed to" that SoS Clinton used.
