SPECIAL GUEST: David Barsamian, author of “Targeting Iran,” journalist and radio host “Alternative Radio,” heard regularly on KPFK Fridays at 3pm <\/em><\/p>\nRussian President Vladimir Putin says that US fears that Iran is creating a nuclear arsenal are unfounded. Putin met with Ayatollah Khamenei and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedenijad during a visit to Tehran to attend a summit along with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan \u2013 all nations agreed that their territories cannot be used to launch strikes against the others. Putin\u2019s visit and comments that the US should not even think of using military force in the region come as the US and France are both refusing to rule out an attack against Iran for its nuclear program \u2013 which they say is being used to produce nuclear weapons instead of energy. Russia also blocked UN sanctions proposed to pressure Iran to ditch its nuclear program, and Putin\u2019s statements dashed some hopes in Washington that Russia would join the call for sanctions against Iran. Putin\u2019s visit to Tehran marks the first time a Russian leader has made a visit since Joseph Stalin was there in 1943. To get some historical perspective on this and other matters related to ever-expanding US imperialism, we\u2019re joined in studio by award-winning author and radio host David Barsamian. <\/p>\n
