   Russia-Iran Joint Venture Promising

 

Russian Rosatom Atomic Energy Agency chief Sergei Kiriyenko left for Iran to further the discussions in Moscow just a few days ago to negotiate a peaceful end to the Iran nuclear program standoff. The new deal between Russia and Iran is speculated to go beyond the much-touted joint venture to enrich uranium on Russian soil. There are reports that Russia is actively considering a time frame for which Iran will be disallowed from enrichment so it can convince the world of its peaceful intentions. In order to make this option sweet for Iran, Russia is proposing to build 5-15 nuclear reactors like the one it already has at Bushehr, sell advanced anti-missile and weapons to boost its sense of security. Under consideration are Russia's long range S-300 air defense systems which will augment its short range battery of 30 Tor-M1 missiles that it will shortly get from Russia. All these sweeteners are offered under the assumption that Iran will stop uranium enrichment.
