Who knows how long this will hold, but Iran knows says it has a deal with Russia on uranium enrichment:
The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said Sunday that his country had agreed in principle to set up a joint uranium enrichment project with Russia, a potentially significant breakthrough in efforts to prevent an international confrontation over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The devil, of course, is in the proverbial details. [I thought the US was the devil.-ed. Sorry. I forgot.]

Wow. Whatever else you say about the Russians, this a much more efficient way to get a dirty bomb to the Chechen rebels.

About as long as it takes for the ink to dry on the agreement. Iran has been playing this game for a long time trying to buy enough time to develop a nuclear weapon. They know that the Europeans will not do anything as long as they pretend to be going along with the agreement.
I trust the Russians and the IAEA to look out for the interests of Israel (and Western civilization at large) about as much as I trust Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Which is to say, not at all.
Iran knows says it has a deal with Russia on uranium enrichment:
Again? What is this, the 7th or 8th time an announcement like this has been made? I give it a week before some mullah announces “our sovereign right it to process our own uranium,” &c., &c.
It’s a game they play over and over, and the West keeps facilitating it.
Russia isn’t putting the brakes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Russia is enabling Iran’s nuclear ambitions. And here’s the prooof: http://www.iranmania.com/News/ArticleView/Default.asp?NewsCode=40873&NewsKind=Current%20Affairs
I might have bought this if it was just the second or third time Iran had tried this trick, but I think they have made it very clear that a basic goal is to acquire nuclear weapons. I think you have to see something fundamental change in Iran (a new government maybe?) for them to give up on this idea. Anything they do now is simply to buy time.

Vis information that came out of the recent Intelligence Summit, the Russians know much about efficiency when it comes to the sale and transport of WMDs to countries under sanctions against such sales facing UN inspections and possible invasions. Not to mention their legendary skill at cleaning away every last trace of incriminating evidence.
