Russia Remains Committed to Iranian Nuclear Program

November 30, 2009

Russia’s energy minister, quoted by an Iranian news agency, vowed to do everything possible towards the earliest possible completion of the nuclear plant in Bushehr. Earlier this month, Russian experts blamed “technical issues” for delays that will prevent powering up the facility by year’s end as first expected.

The Russian minister, Sergei Shmatko, was quoted as making the statements following talks with Iran’s oil minister in Tehran, expressing his country’s commitment to advancing the Iranian nuclear mission.

Russia continues playing both sides of the fence, while profiting handsomely by furnishing members of the “Evil Axis” with nuclear technology and advanced weaponry, in addition to serving as a member of the United Nations Quartet forum, as well as being among the Western nations releasing a strong condemnatory statement and warning against Tehran, which on Sunday announced defiantly it plans to move ahead with ten additional nuclear facilities, of course in cooperation with Russia.

Israel has during the past year held high-level talks with Russian leaders in the hope of preventing the sale of advanced S-300 anti-aircraft systems and other weaponry to Syria, weapons that are intended for Hizbullah and Hamas, to be used against Israel.
