Russia's nuclear aid to Iran. (Insider Report).

Iran, another member of the "axis of evil," continues to get military aid from Russia, our supposed ally in the war on terrorism. A December 26th New York Times story reported: "Iran and Russia signed an agreement today to speed up the completion of a nuclear power plant that the United States fears could help Iran build nuclear weapons.... They also agreed to set up a commission to examine building another one, and Russia said that for the next 10 years it would provide fuel for the reactor at Bushire in southern Iran." The pact was completed during a fourday visit to Teheran by Aleksandr Rumyantsev, Russia's atomic energy minister.

Russia is also helping Teheran improve missile technologies that would give Iran's Islamic revolutionary regime the means to threaten the entire region--as well as parts of Europe. "Iran has been supplied by Russia with powerful new technology and parts for long-range missiles that will put Israel and the whole of the Middle East--including British and U.S. forces in the region--within its reach," reported the November 11, 2002 London Daily Telegraph. "The missiles' range of up to 1,300 miles would also allow Iran to strike parts of North Africa and of southeastern Europe."

Successful test-firings of the improved missiles were carried out during the summer of 2002 "with the help of Russian and North Korean scientists at a desert range in central Iran," reported the paper.
