WHITE HOUSE (AP) - The White House says a Russian shipment of nuclear fuel to Iran is just another reason for Iran to suspend its own enrichment program.
A White House spokesman says if Iran is going to be getting fuels from Russia, it doesn't need its own program.
The U.S. has been pushing the U.N. Security Council to pass a third round of sanctions against Iran for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment. But that became more difficult when a recent U.S. intelligence report concluded Iran had halted its nuclear weapons development program in 2003 and had not resumed it through at least the middle of this year.
