"We don't approve of Iran's permanent demonstration of its intentions to develop its rocket sector and continue to enrich uranium," Mr Lavrov said. Mr Lavrov said Iran should refrain from raising international tensions. Iran has been trying to develop the nuclear fuel capabilities and earlier this month fired a rocket into space. "It's impossible to ignore the fact that problems with Iran's nuclear programme have arisen in recent years," Mr Lavrov was quoted by Russia's Interfax news agency as saying.
"While they haven't been resolved it would be better to refrain from actions that raise tensions and create the impression Iran is ignoring the international community," he said. Mr Lavrov was speaking as he travelled back from an EU-Russia meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

So Russia disagrees with Iran trying to "show off" their nuclear rockets. I find this entire situation extremely humorous. I don't know what Russia was thinking when THEY sold Iran Uranium. Of course I guess you could say they thought they were using it for peaceful purposes. However, either Russia is extremely blind, or they are trying to cover up for their mistakes.
This could be a way of mending some relations with the West, by appearing to care about Iran's nuclear problems. I seriously doubt it though. There is no way that Russia will get away with saying they knew nothing about Iran's missile program. This recent stance on the issue will not clear their name from creating the problem.
