The following Reuters article from today is very brief yet very suspicious, especially coming from the Russian president. It is so due to the fact that Russia, along with China, know very well of Iran's nuclear progress and indeed their overall objectives due to the simple fact that both of these countries have been helping the Iranian government acquire not only the skills and know-how of nuclear tech, but also, more than likely, some of the actual weapons and even possible nuclear material.
So it is very surprising as to why now, would the Russian president all of a sudden make such statement, especially in light of the fact that Israel and the U.S. are moving increasingly to a possible, if not highly probable strike on Iran.
It is a mystery to say the least as to why Medvedev would do this now.

MOSCOW July 12 (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday that Iran was moving closer to having the potential to create nuclear weapons.
"Iran is moving closer to possessing the potential which in principle could be used for the creation of nuclear weapons," Medvedev told a meeting of ambassadors in Moscow. (Reporting by Denis Dyomkin, writing by Guy Faulconbridge, editing by Dmitry Solovyov)
