President Ahmadinejad

From Voice Of America:

Russian media report Russian officials believe Iran does not currently have the capability to build a nuclear weapon.

The reports quote the director of the Foreign Ministry's department of European cooperation, Vladimir Voronkov, as saying Iran cannot create or deliver a nuclear weapon.

On Monday, Iran said U.S. President-elect Barack Obama needs to abandon a "carrot and stick" approach to Tehran's nuclear program when he takes office next month.
