Dmitry Medvedev gave the first hint today that Russia is prepared to perform a major policy U-turn and support US moves for sanctions against Iran.
Speaking in Moscow, the Russian President went out of his way to be more conciliatory with the West ahead of his visit to the US later this month where he will attend the United Nations General Assembly Meeting in New York and the G20 summit of economic powers in Pittsburgh.
A key issue on the agenda will be efforts by America, Britain and France to impose economic sanctions against Tehran, if the regime does not agree to curb its controversial nuclear programme. It is widely expected that President Ahmadinejad of Iran, who will also be in New York, will reject any pressure from the international community
