RUSSIA FALLS IN LINE: TELLS IRAN TO STOP ENRICHMENT

BBC: Russia has called on Iran to stop work on uranium conversion immediately, a day after it resumed operations at its nuclear facility at Isfahan. Iran's main partner in its effort to develop nuclear power urged Tehran to continue co-operating with the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA. The IAEA meets on Wednesday to discuss whether Iran should be referred to the UN Security Council for sanctions.

This is an important development : it sends the signal to Iran that IF it goes to the UNSC and IF there's a sanctions vote, THEN Russia will NOT veto it. Therefore, it should work, FOR NOW.

BOTTOM-LINE: Iran's jihadists want the BOMB, and they cannot be trusted with it. The ONLY answer is REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN: a democratic revolution which leads to a secular state.
