Iran is in talks with Russia to build new nuclear facilities, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday.
“We are in talks with Russia on construction of new nuclear power stations,” Ahmadinejad told the Russia Today TV channel.
Iran may accept an offer from any other country willing to cooperate, he said.
Ahmadinejad was speaking just two weeks after the Bushehr nuclear power station, Iran’s first such plant, was connected to the national grid.
The Russian-built facility began operating at a low level in May.
Earlier this month, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it was “increasingly concerned” that Iran may also be working on a nuclear warhead. IAEA chief Yukiya Amano pledged to publish new information to back up the statement.
Iran maintains its nuclear plans are entirely peaceful.

IRAN IS THUMBING IT’S NOSE AT ISREAL AND THE UN.
More power to ‘em.. no pun intended.
Russia is reported to have backed down after pressure by the U.S. and Israel to sell Iran its advanced S-300 missile (long range,) so I’m sceptical about this report.

Who knows what the truth is. Did we really offer to sell Iran missiles? Where did that “new” come from? And yet, truth has been stranger than fiction lately.
Russia will defend Iran to the death, and as the #1 military in the world, I’d say that’s something to think long and hard on…
man, what a small crowd…
