The Kremlin does not want to create an Iranian bomb, so it remains in Bushehr ("Il Foglio", Italy)

Iran uses Russian uranium at its nuclear power plant. Medvedev helps the ayatollahs and tries to reduce the threat from them

After months of mysterious problems and suspected accidents, Iranian technicians yesterday laid the first dose of uranium fuel in the Bushehr nuclear reactor. A new phase has come in a long and painful process that should allow the country to produce atomic energy. The supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, received congratulations and a blessing from Tehran’s parliament: “The United States and some European countries tried to prevent us, but we still managed to complete our development policy,” said Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the foreign affairs commission. .

The international community harbors suspicions about the Iranian nuclear program. American intelligence claims Tehran creates weapon of mass destruction, this hypothesis is confirmed by some reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency at the UN (IAEA). Responsible for the Bushehr nuclear power plant, Ali Akbar Salehi told the Iranian agency yesterday News Fars, that the work "will be completed in 55 days" and that the nuclear power plant will be connected to the common network "no later than February."

The uranium at the Bushehr nuclear power plant comes from Russia: Kremlin representatives have worked with Iran for years to create nuclear power plants and attended a grand opening ceremony, organized last August by the Islamic regime. But the role of Moscow in this game is ambiguous: President Dmitry Medvedev recently canceled an agreement that would allow Iran to acquire S300 anti-aircraft missile systems; in September, when the information virus blocked Bushehr’s computers, some analysts have suggested that this is the result of sabotage organized by the secret Russian services.

According to the sources of the newspaper Il Foglio, close to the Kremlin, energy cooperation with Tehran "is developing naturally and without problems." Yesterday in Russia, the delegation of the IAEA met with government representatives. The program of the meeting was also a discussion of the atomic program of the Ayatollah. “No one is interested in the creation of an atomic bomb by Iran,” they say in Moscow, “because this danger threatens us first and foremost.”
