AMD plans in Europe could complicate Iranian nuclear issue
MOSCOW. June 9 (Interfax) - The U.S. plans to deploy elements of its missile defense system in the Czech republic and Poland will seriously hamper efforts to solve the Iranian nuclear problem, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"The deployment of an AMD system in Europe can seriously impede these efforts [on a peaceful settlement of the problem of Iran's nuclear program]," he warned journalists in Moscow on Saturday.Experts are actively working to clarify all aspects of Iran's nuclear program, including through the UN and the IAEA."Nobody has provided proof that the Iranian nuclear program has a military dimension," he said.
Eh, what about Iranian nuclear program and its first revenge target: Intel's 45nm fab in Kiryat Gat, Israel?
(With some exceptions; a 1997 U.S. law prohibits the collection and release of satellite imagery of Israel with a resolution better than two meters, for example.)
By the way, will wide deployment of AMD systems in US and Canada make North Korea nervous, as it yesterday made Intel's share holders a bit hysterical? That company AMD doesn't seem to me like a dead horse.
