Israel Concerned as Russia Sends Nuclear Fuel to Iran
[Reuters] Russia last month delivered the first shipments of nuclear fuel to Iran's first nuclear power plant in Bushehr. But Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said during a visit to Russia Thursday that the fuel might help Iran develop its nuclear weapons program. "Now Russia has started delivering nuclear fuel to Bushehr, (Iran's) uranium enrichment may serve military goals," Russian news agencies quoted Livni as saying. Israel, Washington's staunchest ally in the Middle East, says Iran could have a nuclear bomb by 2010 and says an Iranian nuclear weapon would threaten the existence of the Jewish state.
