nuclear fuel to Iran, and for Tehran to return the spent fuel to Russia. The United States, which suspects Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, opposed the deal.
The agreement was signed Sunday at the Bushehr nuclear plant in southern Iran, and paves the way for Iran to start up its first nuclear power plant sometime next year.
The deal calls for Russia to supply Iran with nuclear fuel, with a pledge from Tehran to return all spent nuclear fuel to Russia.
>>>>Iran initiated its nuclear program before the 1979 Islamic revolution, and has announced plans to build several more nuclear power plants.
Bush-Putin news conf.,
Bush:We talked a lot about the situation in Iran, about the situation in Iran.
"We agreed that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. And I appreciate Vladimir's understanding on that issue.""And that's an important part of having a trustworthy relationship, a relationship where, when a person tells you something, you know he means what he says, and, "yes" means yes, and "no" means no. Sometimes in politics yes means "maybe," and no means "if." This is the kind of fellow who, when he says, yes, he means, yes, and when he says, no, he means, no."
"Vladimir can speak for himself on this issue, but all I can tell you is, he said -- yes meant yes, when we talked about values that we share."
Putin/Bush= Two duplicitous liars
Too bad our president is the idiot of the pair.
