MOSCOW, March 28 Russia's Foreign Minsitry says Russians are not being evacuated from Iran amid the row over the Bushehr nuclear plant.Russian state-owned firm Atomstroyexport is building the reactor but had temporarily stopped this month after it accused Iran of lagging on the payment schedule. Tehran said Russia politicized the reactor as part of the international uproar over its refusal to stop enriching uranium."Unfortunately, some mass media sources have been circulating unsubstantiated reports about the alleged evacuation of Russians from Iran, particularly of specialists working on the Bushehr (nuclear power plant) construction," said ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin. Atomstroyexport said Iran began making payments on the $1 billion project, though not at agreed upon levels, RIA Novosti reports.The reactor, Iran's first, is not suspected of having ties to the alleged weapons program. Iran says it is enriching uranium to fuel the nuclear plants only.Copyright 2007 by UPI

Iran Has the right to enrich uranium.
The western world keeps forgetting, oh so conveniently, that this right is supposed to be PROTECTED by United Nations!
Instead, a parrody of international law and justice plays out against them(Iran)
The real agenda of the west is to be the sole possessors of such firepower.
They will react to any Islamic country in a negative fashion if they feel that country
is making strides to become an equal in any way to them.
The real roots of emnity are racist.
On both sides.
