Iran defence drill angers Moscow
Updated on 11 April 2007
Moscow has expressed its annoyance to Tehran over an Iranian air defence exercise near a Russian-built nuclear plant, Russia's Foreign Ministry has said.
The Iranian air defence forces did not notify Russian officials before conducting manoeuvres on Friday near the nuclear plant, being built by Russia in the southern port of Bushehr, Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said.
"The Russian Embassy has expressed bewilderment, and asked Iran to inform Russian experts in Bushehr about such events in advance," Kamynin said in a statement.
