So a deposit may be demanded from Iran. BTW, are you sure that the reactors supplied to Iran can breed enriched material? If even the rods are left in Iran, they should build an enrichment factory which has all sorts of sophisticated and bulky machinery.
I think their is more to this then 1Bn contract to Russia. To me, having a nuclear Iran keeps us off balance. It is a counterweight to Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a dangerous game they are playing and one they will no doubt regret one day.
I think regretting about Pakistan is also quite possible: e.g. they have nukes as well as India and have a very cool relationship. The Pakistan's athorities also manage their country.. not that well.
The Busher contract is 30000 jobs for Russia.

Yes, the reactor will be able to produce fissle material used in nuclear weapons. Uranium bombs require a lot of material and produce small KT weapons. However, it only requires one to be produced and used via proxy in a city like NYC or LA to decimate our entire way of life.

Yeah, that is true but they already had nukes in 1998 and the delivery vehicle (missles). Iran does not have the fissle material to produce a stockpile of weapons. I have to say I give a lot of credit to Musharref. He has had noe less then five assasination attempts on his life, because he is trying to do what is right for his country. Once he retires from his current post, it is highly rumored he will accept a military post. I assume this is to retain control of the nuclear assets of the country to prevent proliferation or a nut job being allowed to push the button.

What do you mean?
