Reuters - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Iran�s missile program should be dealt with as a separate matter to its nuclear program.

Putin was speaking in an interview with Arab broadcasters, including Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV, ahead of his first visit to Saudi Arabia in over a decade.

�It is possible, and we should, discuss Iran�s missiles program... but the missile program is one thing and the nuclear program is another thing,� Putin was quoted as saying.
