Keep an eye on this one...

In case you don't know history: Israel hit Bushehr once before in the early eighties to prevent Iran from developing nukes...what will happen this time??

Bushehr Completed
MOSCOW (Reuters) -- The Federal Atomic Energy Agency said Thursday it had finished construction of the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran -- a project the United States fears Tehran could use to make nuclear arms.

"We're done. All we need to do now is work out [with the Iranians] the agreement on sending spent fuel back to Russia," an agency spokesman said.

To allay U.S. concerns, Russia has promised not to start the plant up until Tehran guarantees to return to Russia all spent nuclear fuel.

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the Iranian Parliament's Foreign Affairs and National Security Commission, was in Moscow on Thursday for talks with atomic energy agency and Foreign Ministry officials.
