Moscow, Apr 19: The United States demanded today an end to Russia's cooperation with Iran in building the Islamic republic's first civilian nuclear power station and also suggested halting a sale of Russian missies.
"We also think it is important for countries to stop cooperation with Iran on nuclear issues, even on civilian nuclear issues like the Bushehr facility," Under Secretary of State Nicholas Burns told journalists in Moscow.
Burns made it clear that he was talking about various countries' work with Iran's nuclear industry. However, Russia is Iran's biggest nuclear partner and is building the country's first atomic power station at Bushehr.
According to the United States and other Western powers, Iran is using its civilian programme to hide a secret military project, something insists is untrue.
