Christopher warns Russia on Iran

Washington - The US Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, said Russia would "rue the day" it helps Iran build a nuclear capability and warned the war in Chechnya could jeopardise Moscow's foreign policy efforts. "Russia is a neighbour of Iran. It will rue the day it co-operated with this terrorist state if Iran builds nuclear weapons with the benefit of Russian expertise and equipment. It is too dangerous to be permitted," Mr Christopher said at Indiana University.
