Russia And Iran Squaring Off Over Nuclear Plant

Get the fuck outta here! Check this little tidbit out:

Russia has informed Iran that it will withhold nuclear fuel for Iran’s nearly completed Bushehr power plant unless Iran suspends its uranium enrichment as demanded by the United Nations Security Council, European, American and Iranian officials said.

This is the LAST thing I would have expected the Russians to do. Lately, they seem to value money over responsibility. It appears that the recent spat over payment of the nuclear plant is a driving point with the Russians. But we'll see if Russia actually follows through with their demand. If so, it seriously puts a damper on Iran's nuclear prospects.

I don't know about you, but if my trade partner called me an "extortionist" and said that I was never and will never be a reliable partner, I'd be pretty pissed about it.
