Use of force to resolve Iran nuclear row 'dangerous': Russia

AFP | August 17 2005

Russia said Wednesday that any use of force against Iran over its decision to resume nuclear fuel production would be "dangerous" and would have "serious consequences."

"We consider that it would be counter-productive and dangerous to use force, the serious consequences of which would be barely predictable," the foreign ministry said in a statement apparently countering US President George W. Bush's recent assertion that force is an option.
