Russia Delays Iran Nuke Plant For Lack Of Payment

So the probability that Iran wants nuclear weapons in order to cause mass destruction isn't enough to dissuade Russia from building nuclear plants for them but fuck if they're doing it for free. I think I found the root of all our problems.

Russia warned Iran Monday to expect delays in launching the country's first atomic power station, adding to mounting pressure on Tehran to compromise with the international community over its controversial nuclear programme.

And to stop bouncing checks.

Amid signs of frustration in Moscow over Iran's combative stance, state contractor Atomstroiexport announced that Iranian financial problems mean a probable set-back in completing the power station at Bushehr in southern Iran.

"We're not convinced that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons. We believe they want to use nuclear power for peaceful purposes and we owe it to our fellow human beings to supply them with the necessities for progress and better living by...what...they can't pay? Fuck 'em, shut it down!"

"Insufficient financing of the project means that there is a real delay in the timetable. The delay will probably be two months, according to experts," Atomstroiexport spokeswoman Irina Yesipova told AFP.

Can you put a nuclear plant on layaway?
