Bush's Iraq effect lingers - Russia pushes back U.S. efforts to threaten tough new sanctions on Iran

Russia pushes back U.S. efforts to threaten tough new sanctions on Iran. It may be the lingering mistrust of the Russians and Chinese on American intentions after what happened in Iraq in 2002-2003.

It is a setback to the Obama administration's desire to present a united front with Moscow.

After meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow believed that such threats would not persuade Iran to comply and that negotiations should continue to be pursued.

"At the current stage, all forces should be thrown at supporting the negotiating process," he told reporters at a joint news conference with Clinton. "Threats, sanctions and threats of pressure in the current situation, we are convinced, would be counterproductive."
