The insults continue; the snubs continue-and they are far more serious than the gaffe regarding North Jerusalem; that reset button is not working; paper tiger or Bobo doll?

Russia Will Help Iran Launch a Reactor by Summer, Premier Says, a Blow to Visiting Diplomat, U.S. Sanction Efforts


MOSCOW—Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia will help Iran launch its first nuclear power plant this summer, delivering a diplomatic slap to visiting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a blow to U.S.-led efforts to increase financial pressure on Tehran.

Mr. Putin's announcement, made at a conference on Russian's nuclear-power industry in the southern city of Volgodonsk, took Mrs. Clinton's entourage by surprise and drew a swift rebuke. Mrs. Clinton is on a two-day visit to Moscow to work, in part, on forging a united front with Russia on addressing Iran's continuing push to develop nuclear technologies.
