Iran Threatens To Fire Russia
Iran is considering alternative builders to finish its first nuclear power plant amid disputes with Russia, which now heads the project, a Russian daily quoted an Iranian official as saying Friday.
“Iran is interested in the atomic power station at Bushehr being finished on time and specifically by Russia,” daily Gazeta quoted Iranian presidential spokesman Ali Akbar Javanfekr as saying.
“However, we are already considering other candidates to finish construction of the Bushehr plant in the event that problems arise again,” he said, the newspaper reported.
Tehran says the much-delayed power station is the key to its plans for a civilian nuclear programme. Washington accuses the Islamic republic of using its energy programme to hide nuclear weapons development.
Moscow has repeatedly pushed back the target date for the plant’s opening in recent months, saying in July that the project was in “crisis” because Iran was falling behind on payments for the 1.2-billion-dollar (870-million-euro) plant.
Russian officials have said Bushehr may not be completed until late 2008 — a year later than Iranian officials had planned.

August 31st, 2007 at 9:31 amNo, it’s the Iranians who haven’t paid, you see. Iran is cutting corners everywhere, on the brink of econo-meltdown.
Iran is cash-strapped because of their terrorist programs. And the Rusky’s are as they always are: Loyal to no one but the Russian mob and themselves.
I hope they are cutting corners, so that when they start up their nuclear reactor, they get another Chernobyl in return for their efforts. Rusky nuclear plants are inferior designs when compared with western ones.
One might hope that the Iranians screw this project up so bad that they end up with a nuclear plant that is unstable and a ticking time-bomb.
Yes oh bearded one, start up the plant. Then KABOOM…they blow themselves up. I wonder how much of Iran would be contaminated for 20 years? I’d love to hear that Ahmedinajacket was present for the startup of the reactor when it blows up.
August 31st, 2007 at 10:12 amDon’t be fooled by this “I’m having problems with my suppliers B.S.” I hope you don’t believe that Iran’s military and intelligence branch learned how to do what they do in a vacuum? Iran and North Korea have pretty much missile partners and share weapon’s tech. Russia has been arming them to the teeth for many decades.

Gee one thief not trusting another, or getting shafted by another? What a shock!
Kurt (the infidel), no, I would imagine the call to be more like this,”Sir, we have had a slight accident at some of our nucleeuur sites. It seems that the North Koreans we hired to finish the job abondoned by the zionist cur Russians used inferior products and shoddy workmanship”
I’d rather that than the damned world media and liberals try to crucify the US for attacking another country of wonderful peace lovers….
August 31st, 2007 at 10:19 amWait a second, didn’t the Russians build the nuke plant in Chernobyl?
…hell, I say we lend the Iranians the money for the Russians to finish building the nuke facility.

August 31st, 2007 at 11:30 amHey Pat, what was the article that was here a few months ago about the Russians not finishing this thing?
