Hillary Clinton, Russians clash publicly over Iran reactor

11:41 19/03/2010

With Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at her side, the secretary of State reproaches Moscow for building and fueling the plant without assurances on weaponry. Lavrov stands his ground.

The clash underlined lingering and sticky disagreements between the United States and Russia over how best to confront Iran. The Obama administration badly needs Russian backing in order to pursue more aggressive action against Iran and has been pressing Moscow for support.
