CNN - Russia set for Iran's nuclear plant launch, top nuclear official says

CNN reports: "Sergei Kiriyenko, general director of Rosatom, the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation, debriefed Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on the August 21 arrival of fuel at the Bushehr facility, which Iran says will create atomic energy but which other nations fear could be used for nuclear weapons."

Comment: Most observers appear to be doubtful that Israel will attack the Bushehr nuclear planet. It's not what they consider to be a "primary target" that would in any way set back Iran's nuclear weapons program. Bushehr represents the public face of Iran's claim to want only nuclear energy and not weapons. On the other hand, it has great symbolic value and it's destruction would set both Russia and Iran on the path toward implacable enmity toward Israel, setting the stage for Ezekiel's invasion. After all, few question today why Iran would want to attack Israel, but Russia? Perhaps we will get the answer this weekend.
