Brazil and Iran in Talks

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva went to Tehran this weekend, as another attempt to convince Iran to stop their nuclear program. da Silva was scheduled to talk to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday, yet at the same time, officials in Washington are more worried about if this diplomatic talk will somehow push back or halt the sanctions against Iran. The situation that Iran is in now is very similar to Brazil in the past: both are developing countries, Brazil expanded their nuclear program to include nuclear weapons like Iran is doing now, they both faced opposing views from larger international countries. Brazil is against the sanctions that U.N. Security Council is getting closer to deciding.
