Russian FM: Russia, US position on Iran ‘coincide’

MOSCOW — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says the positions of the U.S. and Russia on Iran’s nuclear program “coincide.”

Lavrov says neither country has asked the other for anything in dealing with Iran and it would be silly to do so because “our positions coincide.”

Lavrov spoke Tuesday during a joint news conference with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is in Moscow for talks on a range of issues.
