JUST-IN: Attempt to smuggle radioactive materials to Iran foiled at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport

Morning Mods and thanks for pin!

Morning DoorBert - that is an odd piece of news. Any insight on why Russia would report this?

mossad stirring shit again

Its just a curry that the Indian PM left when he arrived last night.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh arrived in Moscow on Thursday on a three-day visit to Russia during which he will work on further expanding bilateral cooperation and consolidating coordination on regional and global issues.

Singh arrived at the Sheremetyevo International Airport and was received by Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister AM Vadakin.

Cooperation in nuclear energy is expected to top the agenda. But Moscow is discomfited not only by the anti-nuclear protests in Kudankulam but also by India's nuclear liability law which makes equipment suppliers liable for damages in the event of an accident.

yikes! this whole situation is looking more dire by the minute, thanks again DB great post as usual ^5

Considering that Tehran is supposedly an ally of Russia they wouldn't publicly release the fact they found materials heading to Iran regardless of who really tried to send it. Russia is sending a message to someone.

Oh its on twitter.

Must be true then. (NOT).

why should RT lie about that?

well surely this is a lie.

You people are so stupid. The idea Russia and Iran are allies is ludicrous. Russia won't even give Iran 1960's surface to air missile technology.

Russia would LOVE for Iran to be wiped off the map, they would make so much money of the increased oil and natural gas prices for decades to come it isn't even funny.

Morning Canuk36 - no, waiting to hear more.

Will be interesting to see what type of material and who the smugglers were.

btw nuke Iran now.

well lets think logicaly.

Russia could not get some radioactive material, (of which Iran already has loads), past its own Russian customs and out of a country that has vast unmaned boarders all over the place.

I'm thinking here that someone in Russia is trying to send a MESSAGE, and not radioactive material.

Just my opinion but it seems like Russia has agreed to let the US take out Iran/Syria. (in exchange for ?) That is the only logical explanation for them coming out and saying radioactive material is being smuggled to Iran. Having Russia of all countries come out and say that gives the US major political ammo for war.

Mossad False Flag Ops.

We've seen this shit enough times now.

This is a well thought out plan to make Israel and the US attack.
First Iran with preparing to go into their nuke bunker made public and now this? They clearly are provoking to kick start the war to finish off Europe's economies.

your an idiot..

We dont need to know your personal problems, thanks.

Yes I agree.

Just heard that Russia drafted a second Security Council resolution that is much tougher and opens the way for UN action in Syria. Waiting to get more details.

A few days ago, the US plan for the No-Fly Zone came out limiting air-space control over only "military" areas.

Sounds like that would fly for Russia and keep their nationals out of harms way and allow them to continue business there.

Russian customs service says they have seized radioactive material at Moscow airport en route to Iran

Planned fail. TPTB want you to see them fail. So the radioactive material in the captured drone will fool you all.

West have Russia onboard. I wonder how the did it? Protect Putin and keep him as president or scrapping the missile shield? Iran will soon be attacked and Russia or China will not do anything

Dang Doorbert, you are on it:)

And no, he is not.

Extremely high energy prices.

The Federal Customs Service said that its agents found 18 pieces of Sodium-22 from the luggage of a passenger bound for Tehran.

Na-22 is positron-emitting isotope that could only be produced at a nuclear reactor.
