File under: Govt of Iran

#1 However, if the Pahlavi Monarchy still held sway in Iran, then we wouldn't care if they operated a reactor. I wonder if defense planners have found a way to topple the Ayatollahs, without destroying much of the country. Iran still has a professional military that might want to see Qom replaced by a lake. A coup would be very bloody, but who cares? I don't.

#3 a reactor unconnected with Irans suspect military program

Ha! Just more raw material if nothing else.

Moscow's decision to let Iran have the uranium to fuel its Bushehr reactor six months before its scheduled start-up

Just more muddied water to hide behind - and another nail in Iran's coffin. I figure Russia will be happy as long as they get paid. And when Iran gets whacked it raises the price of oil (which more than offsets the economic impact of Iran's disappearance to their economy) and gets rid of Iran as a competitor for influence in the region - a win|win situation for the Russians.

The step was gladly welcomed in Tehran

By who? Are they in such desperate need of energy for their blossoming economy?

#4 Are they in such desperate need of energy for their blossoming economy?

Peaceful "nuclear" energy? Yes.
