The story is at NewsMax.com:
"A secret 1995 agreement between the Clinton administration and then-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin was supposed to halt the transfer of nuclear technology and military equipment to Iran."
"But when the Russians continued to help build Iran's premier nuclear facility at Bushehr, the White House refused to impose sanctions."
"Under the accord hammered out by Chernomyrdin and then-Vice President Al Gore, Russia had agreed to end all weapons sales to Iran by Dec. 31, 1999."
