“We have no information on Iran’s work on nuclear weapons,” Putin said during an annual televised question-and-answer session with Russians.

Iran announced on Sunday that it plans to build 10 new uranium enrichment facilities.

As a signatory to the NPT, Iran has right to enrich uranium to generate electricity.

The IAEA Board of Governors, under pressure by the West, adopted a resolution against Iran on Friday. The resolution criticized Iran for beginning construction of a new uranium enrichment facility at Fordo and demanded that it immediately halt its construction.

The resolution was endorsed by Russia, Germany, Britain, China, France and the United States, the six nations involved in nuclear negotiations with Iran.

Iranian President Mahmound Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday that Russia “made a mistake” when it backed the resolution. He said Russia’s decision to endorse the document was based on an “incorrect analysis of the current international situation.”

Russia has consistently opposed sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program, but President Dmitry Medvedev has said the country could support sanctions if Iran fails to allay Western doubts over the peaceful nature of the program.
