Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant to open in 2010

Iran's first nuclear power plant will be operating by mid-2011, Iranian and Russian officials say.

The Bushehr plant was begun in 1974 and abandoned five years later. Russia took over building work in the 1990s, but it has been beset with delays.

Iran's semi-official Fars news agency quoted the head of Iran's atomic agency as saying that the plant had passed most tests successfully.

I have been doing much on the open source exploitation on various websites/terrorist groups and gathering a larger spectrum of what is going on internationally with the world of Islam. There are in fact several entities vying for control through the advancement of Islam and it seems that certain indicators point to Iran using their Islamic Revolution methodology to thrust forward their own version of regional control.

I point to the most recent events in Yemen. We always knew from 2005 and on that the Al Quds Force of the IRGC had infiltrated Iraq to continue to tear down any diplomatic or Western ideals from taking root in this Muslim Arabic country. It's all over the news now, but no one is paying attention. The recent move into Yemen is one more avenue of approach in gaining a foothold closer to Israel. My thoughts on this is twofold, one, by launching unknown yield nuclear warheads into Israel from Yemen, Iran spars itself direct confrontation and retaliation from Israel. The second thought, by gaining ground in Yemen it will have full control to choke off Saudi Arabia's oil exports, especially to the US.

As Iran moves outward from the Middle East and their involvement in Afghanistan into such regions as South America, it becomes clear that they are posed at using Hugo Chavez to launch possible strike against US interests. Again, sparring itself from direct retaliation. Eliminating Chavez and the oil he is using to fund his government and that of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and possibly Iraq - Iran sets itself up as a prime exporter for a commodity that we in the US have not been so forward in developing due to the conservation of nature.

Using, again what has just been released in the press, the drug trafficking routes that have been exposed linking South America and Africa, Iran can move vital supplies and hardware in the detonation of a nuclear device from an area not getting much attention should they succeed in Yemen. Iran will have to contend and eliminate the Al Qaeda (Sunni) faction from Africa, but then again, if they can do it in Yemen and certain parts of Afghanistan why not Africa. It seems that Iran is a learning beast that sprung from its own cocoon (Iran) and drove forth into Lebanon to experiment and gather specific information on how to conduct and exploit unconventional methods of dominating a country. Presently, they are experimenting in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Brazil, and Venezuela. Using past indicators and overlaying them onto recent moves by Iran illustrates clearly what their intentions are. The Persians are leaping across the globe and bringing with them nuclear devices.
