MOSCOW, February 14 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's top civilian nuclear energy official said Tuesday he was not intending to postpone a visit to Iran, scheduled for late February or early March.
Sergei Kiriyenko, the head of the Russian Federal Agency for Nuclear Power, said: "The trip has been planned, and it must take place in late February or early March."
During his visit, the official plans to meet with head of the Russian-Iranian intergovernmental commission and to inspect work on the construction of the Bushehr nuclear power plant.
About 3,700 Russian experts are currently helping to build the $800-million plant, originally started in the early 1980s by German specialists, in the port city of Bushehr in southern Iran in accordance with a 1992 agreement between the two countries.
On the issue of forming a joint venture to enrich Iran's uranium on Russian territory, Kiriyenko said the offer remained open.
"The proposals remain in force; the whole package of proposals has been presented, and our position has not changed," he said.
An Iranian delegation is expected to arrive in Moscow to discuss the idea on February 20.

Report: Russia woos Iran on weapons

MOSCOW: Russia is intensifying efforts to sell weapons to Iran while such sales remain legal amid mounting pressure on the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program, the daily Kommersant said. Moscow "has stepped up military-technological cooperation with Tehran," the business daily said, citing an unidentified source. It said top officials within Russia's military-industrial complex decided to concentrate on arms sales to Tehran for two reasons:
"First, as many weapons as possible must be sold to Iran before an international embargo against this country comes into force." Second, should the United States decide to go to war in Iran, Russia wants Iran to be well-armed to ensure that U.S. forces become at least as bogged down there as they already are in Iraq, the daily said.
"In either case, such a policy carries a high risk of creating a major international scandal, at the very least," it said.
The report came two days after the International Atomic Energy Agency formally found Iran in violation of its obligations under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), a decision the United States http://www.dailystar.com.lb
hailed as a "significant step forward" in its efforts to curb Iran's nuclear plans.
"The United States practically no longer even hides the fact that, in parallel with diplomacy at the IAEA, it is making preparations to resolve the conflict by force," Kommersant said.
The U.S. ambassador to the ex-Soviet republic of Azerbaijan, which borders Iran, said in a recent interview that Washington is encouraging - and helping fund - a buildup in the capacities of naval forces for Azerbaijan and another former Soviet republic, Kazakhstan.
Both border the oil-rich Caspian Sea, as does Iran. In its assertion that Washington is already making preparations for military action in the region, Kommersant cited the U.S.-funded construction of two radar stations in Azerbaijan. - AFP
The US is going to take out the Iranian nuke plant before it comes online. Russia is very aware of this. Indeed, everyone is certain of this except the Iranians. The Russians simply want their money, and then will withdraw before the bombing starts.
Iran 'resumes' nuclear enrichmentIran has restarted uranium enrichment work, UN diplomats have said. Monday, 13 February 2006, 22:14 GMT. --- They said it had begun feeding uranium gas into centrifuges - a first step in a process that can produce fuel for nuclear reactors or bomb material. Tehran had warned it would resume enrichment after the UN nuclear watchdog decided to report it to the UN Security Council nine days ago.
Things have changed...
Russian nuclear Chief to visit Iran

I hope the Russians enjoy their tainted money dripping with the blood of jews.
I suppose that is what the Chinese think.
It is a good testing ground for Russian and Chinese technologies against ours.
"The Russians simply want their money, and then will withdraw before the bombing starts."
That's right - make a buck anyway you can, Putie!
Even if it endangers western civilization.
Even though the Iran's top Islamonazi has sworn to wipe Israel off the map, KGB Putin continues making sure Iran has the means to slaughter Jews and threaten the Western economy. Gog in action - this time out in the open! Putin's mask is fully removed and so is every Putin promoter on FR.
Spin it maestro, spin it. The only ones about to get wiped out are those diaper-headed Jihad-O-Holics & any of Putin's Russian "advisor's" which happen to be "advising" the Iranian jihahist killers, when the surgical air raids commence.
"The US gave North Korea a light-water reactor."
You mean Clinton's crowd, most likely got additional kick backs on that deal as well.
"I realize you believe the Holy Spirit has given you insight, which no one else has received. After all, you have read Tim LaHayes' Left Behind series, and now thou art a scholar. Quite frankly, you're a very poor student of the Bible...very poor. Posting pictures is not serious Bible study. Now if you want to learn something about Daniel 9, Ezekiel 38, and how to use a lexicon, then let me know. Gog and Magog have no connection to Russia contrary to the books you have read."
That pompous rant coming from the same putz who repeatedly promotes Putin as a "real ally in the war against Islamic terrorism" while the deceptive sob supports the Hamas & Iranian Mohammedan death cultists. You take the frigging cake among the Putin Fan Club crowd.
You are same one who always states Russia will have nothing to do with attacking the Jewish state of Israel, and the same deceiver who, coupled with the rest tiny clique of Putin promoters attempting to trick unsuspecting schleps into buying KGB Putin is "our friend", while he arms every one of America's worst enemies.
Let's see, how old do you have to be to know the HTML for posting picures? I'm looking for good Bible exegesis and less mouth.
How about from you some truth - for a change.
All you spew are accusations, pictures, and cartoons. Do I need to tell you who is the source of accusations?
You want facts? How about commenting on Moscow's advanced anti-aircraft "protecting" Putin's "nuclear" investments all over Iran. The only ones those weapons are for are American, Israeli and British fighter pilots, once the air raids begin to take out those rat bums . In terms of sources, how many Americans parrot whatever the Kremlin line of the day happens to be.
The opening line is what KGB Putin really believes behind his slipping mask, since after all he supported Saddam as well, right comrade?
"It became obvious after Iraq ingloriously surrendered to coalition forces of the USA and Great Britain:"
"Anyway, the Russian defense industry managed to set a record in sales last year, without any interest that appeared as a result of the war in Iraq. In 2002 Russia exported arms in the sum of 4,8 billion dollars."
Arming all of America's enemies - still endeavouring to bury US using Islamic & Red proxies, just like in the days of the brazen Bolshevik controlled - USSR (still is).
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. You may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
