MOSCOW, May 10 (RIA Novosti) - The positions of the United States and Russia on Iran's nuclear program are quickly becoming more similar, a source in the US administration, now in Moscow, told RIA Novosti.
"We are openly discussing all aspects of the Iranian nuclear program with the Russian side, we are making progress quickly and there is a chance for disagreements on the subject to be taken off the Russian-US agenda," the source said.
According to the US source, the strategic goals of the United States and Russia coincide as far as the issue is concerned, but there are minor disagreements on technicalities. To ease the concerns about Iran's nuclear program, Washington "has been cooperating with Russia and the European Union in a constructive manner."
The US stance on Iran's nuclear program is that Iran must quit its plans for uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons development, the source said.
As far as the construction of the Bushehr nuclear power plant is concerned, the United States took the agreement on return of spent nuclear fuel by Iran very positively.
"Russia might handle nuclear fuel supplies to Iran if Tehran abandons uranium enrichment," the sources concluded.
