Russia for min says worried by talk of Iran strike

MOSCOW, Feb 26 (Reuters) Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today he was worried by speculation about military strikes on Iran, Interfax news agency reported.

''Forecasts and suggestions about a military strike on Iran have become more frequent and this is worrying,'' Lavrov was quoted as saying during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin.

Earlier US Vice President Dick Cheney said all options were on the table following Iran's refusal to heed a UN deadline for halting uranium enrichment.
