Iran claims that Britain’s and the U.S.’ intelligence agencies were behind this, which raises concerns over the talks that are being held in Vienna.
I think they are just looking for an excuse to make the U.S. and Britain look bad going into the talks. I mean would we really want to coordinate bombings, when this situation is very fragile already? I think not.

Russia has warned the U.S. and the rest of the world about putting further sanctions on Iran. Prime minister of Russia, Sergei Lavrov, says putting more pressure in Iran would be counter-productive in the effort to inspect the facility.

Iran has announced, to the United Nations and other major world powers, that it officially plans to send the enriched uranium from the enrichment facility in Qum, the newly discovered facility which will be inspected in around two weeks, outside of Iran to Russia.
