Watched CSPAN2 this evening, excellent program:

AEI Panel on Russian Relations with Iraq, Iran & North Korea
Ariel Cohen
Henry Sokolski

In a nutshell, the Russian situation is not good.

For example, the light water reactor Russia is building a light water reactor for Iran which will go online this year and will produce enough weapons grade Pu for 50 weapons in one year. Iran can expel the international inspectors at anytime and abrogate the agreement with Russia to return the spent fuel rods. Iran is developing it's own uranium mines. Our photo intelligence shows the existance of a large enrichment plant. Once the material is turned into metal, the weapons can be assembled in weeks or months. Iran has such a huge supply of natural gas there is no reason for the reactor other than for weapons development. They are flaring off excess gas and looking for natural gas customers worldwide. Cohen says, "If you like the North Korean crisis, you'll love the coming Iranian nuclear crisis." This situation will create havoc with the US-Russian relations.
