iranmania: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday he hoped a crunch IAEA report will help the international community agree a common position to defuse the Iran nuclear crisis, said AFP.

Such an agreement should also ensure "that the rights of all honest members of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) are observed and rights to the peaceful use of atomic energy are also respected," he said. Read more
