In recent weeks, Barack Obama’s foreign policy has been derided by critics who say he has almost nothing to show for his first 10 months in office. But on one of his most important priorities–stopping Iran’s relentless march towards a nuclear weapon–he may be quietly reaping a critical diplomatic turnaround: Russia may finally be getting serious about Iran’s nuclear program.

Hmm… (chin scratch), yes, there is of course the permanent dithering on S-300 missile systems and the Bushehr nuclear plant … do please go on.
