| Iran MMs see U.S. hand behind Russia's delays on Bushehr |
| 2004-12-18 |
| From Geostrategy-Direct, subscription req'd. Iran and Russia have sought to draft an agreement that would ensure the launch of the Bushehr nuclear power plant in 2006. And maybe the launch of Israeli or US strike aircraft or missiles. The Islamic republic has expressed dismay over the failure to reach an agreement with Moscow over Bushehr. Officials have raised the prospect that Russia was delaying an accord upon request of the United States, which regards Bushehr as part of Teheran's nuclear weapons program. Wonder how much we had to pay Russia for that little favor. Iranian officials said Moscow and Teheran have resolved the issue of the return of spent nuclear fuel. But they said the cost of transporting the fuel has blocked an agreement that would ensure the completion of Bushehr. The Iranians spent billions on the Bushehr reactors and now they are arguing about freight????? |

| #4 If they did have an Iranian, Frank, d'ya think that Pooty Poot would have an epiphany or would you think that PP would keep it under wraps to not jeopardize the Bushehr and other future nuclear reactor jobs in Iran? I know I sound cynical, but it is socialist realism cynical. |
