By the time anything is done, Iran will have a nuclear weapon.

Russia is building Iran’s first nuclear power plant and stands to lose billions of dollars if sanctions are imposed on Iran. President Putin also hopes to score diplomatic points by defusing the crisis in Russia’s first year as president of the G8 group of leading industrial powers.

Russia is wasting time and money negotiating with this regime. Putin, get used to the idea of regime change in Iran and flip the switch on these guys. You stand to make more on the flip side of regime change than what you’re making now. Go ahead P, crunch the numbers! You’ll see how quickly things will smooth out when rational Iranians hold the reigns of power in Tehran.

The dog and pony show ends. Big shocker.

I am trying to understand why Iran is so motivated to move their nuclear program forward RIGHT NOW in such an URGENT manner.

"..Russia is building Iran’s first nuclear power plant and stands to lose billions of dollars if sanctions are imposed on Iran."

That is one point. Another is that it was the Russians who moved WMDs out of Iraq and helped the regieme cover it tracks on WMDs.

Now that Russia has failed, it may be time to ask about their involvement in the above.

Russia is in a real bind. Their long term relations with the middle east have blown up in their face.

Russia was trying to resolve the situation in a way that would stop any attacks. Looks like they failed.
