MOSCOW - Russia's foreign minister indicated Tuesday that Moscow was not ready to support moves by the U.S. and its European allies to referIran to the U.N. Security Council over its nuclear program, while the West stepped up pressure on Tehran.

Acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, meanwhile, warned that Israel cannot allow countries with "hostile intentions" to acquire weapons of mass destruction, a clear reference to Iran, and top Israeli security experts headed to Russia to seek support against suspected Iranian efforts to develop nuclear weapons.

China's Foreign Ministry also took a cautious tone Monday, saying "all relevant sides should remain restrained and stick to solving the Iranian nuclear issue through negotiations."

The bosses are busy rattling their sabers.
