YEKATERINBURG, Russia, May 14 (Reuters) - The six nations negotiating with Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment programme could guarantee Tehran's security, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters on Wednesday.

"I think the 'Six' could make the following step: directly put concrete offers on the negotiating table, give Iran security guarantees and ensure a more distinguished place in negotiations on the situation in the Middle East," Lavrov said.

Lavrov said the combination of negotiations and incentives could work to solve two issues simultaneously.

"I am convinced that this is an effective way of relieving tensions in the region and regulating the situation surrounding Iran's nuclear problem," Lavrov said.

The six nations negotiating with Iran to suspend its nuclear programme are the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- Russia, the United States, China, Britain, France -- and Germany.

1. Meaning "The Five" would militarily defend Iran from an attack of any kind by this Administration?

2. Or any other country... eg. Israel, Iraq, Libya, etc..

Remember it was Iraq that attacked Iran on the US's urging back in the eighties...Iran has not attacked any country since it was Persia...Yet the US says they are the greatest threat mankind has ever faced.....

3. Yeah, that's credible.... not!

Why on earth would Iran believe the rapist of Iraq would "guarantee" anything other than Iran's "annihilation?"

4. As ashamed as I am to have to say this...

I believe our very own country has become the biggest threat to world peace and security...all thanks to the Bush/Chaney way of thinking that exist in the right wing party. We have to denouce, reject and flush out officials this mentallity from our Government. I am all for strongly defending our country, but making up evidence (such as the so called weapons coming from Iran), imposing the citizenry to propaganda, wasting the lives of our precious soldiers in order to control the world is not something I can stand behind.
