Clinton Rebukes Putin’s Nuclear Plan
BY JAY SOLOMON AND RICHARD BOUDREAUX
MOSCOW?Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia will help Iran launch its first nuclear power plant this summer, delivering a diplomatic slap to visiting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a blow to U.S.-led efforts to increase financial pressure on Tehran.
Mr. Putin’s announcement, made at a conference on Russian’s nuclear-power industry in the southern city of Volgodonsk, took Mrs. Clinton’s entourage by surprise and drew a swift rebuke. Mrs. Clinton is on a two-day visit to Moscow to work, in part, on forging a united front with Russia on addressing Iran’s continuing push to develop nuclear technologies.
