While Europe feverishly works to get Iran to end enrichment, the US and Russia have in their greed secretly undermined their efforts.
This is old news, but it is new to me and hindsight is 20/20. Way back in 1992, Al Gore and John McCain got together to craft the Gore -McCain Non-Proliferation Act which commits the US to enact sanctions against any nation that aids Iran with advanced weapons. In February 2000, then President Clinton signs the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000, an act which allows him to take punitive measures against any individual or organization that provides any material aid to Iran's nuclear or any other WMD program.
This worries the Russians who have a lucrative "energy" deal with Iran, to aid them to install nuclear reactors. Mr. Gore met with Premier Kiriyenko and crafted the Gore-Kiriyenko Agreement in which the US agreed to allow the Russians carte blanc license to sell their technology to whomever they pleased, including the Iranians. Ironically, Mr. Gore agreed to allow the Russians to violate his own 1992 law, and numerous other nuclear non-proliferation laws including the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000.
Here is a press release from that time by Sen. Brownback calling for an investigation; BROWNBACK CALLS FOR HEARINGS TO INVESTIGATE GORE-RUSSIA-IRAN ARMS DEAL
Most of the above I found on Nuclear Threat Initiative website.
