The Russians will peddle the reactor parts to the Iranians, then sell any needed targeting or intelligence info on it to the US or Israel. Then, after the bombing raid that leaves the Iranian reactor as so much smoking rubble, they'll sell their good customers new replacements. Then repeat as necessary, or until the Iranians finally catch on.

Da! Just imagine if Niccolai Machiavelli and Rasputin had been contemporaries and had joined forces, or with Leon Trotsky, or with *Iron Feliks* Dzerzhinsky, though he was of Polish origins, though serving his Soviet Russian masters....

Do you know why Feliks Dzerzhinsky was particularly respected by his fellow Poles, though feared and hated for his creation of the Soviet Cheka secret police forerunners of the K.G.B.?
