Iran/Russian Relations

http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hhcrce6P3nndOtngAos2BXFtGg0w?docId=68192b1e-dcd5-48a2-b394-453c131a12f0

This link shows an article about Iran and Russia having talks about Iran having a second nuclear power plant located in Bushehr where the country's only nuclear power plant is located. This plan of building this second plant with the help of Russia seems to be giving western powers and Israel unease foreseeing that this could possibly be a program that masks Iran making secretly making weapons. However, Iranian officials are denying these allegations and saying this this program is for peaceful purposes.

I think that this article is very interesting mainly because Russia is involved. Considering that the Cold War ended years ago and that we are on good terms with Russia, it is can still be suspect that the Russians are helping Iran whose government doesn't get along with ours and the Russians are helping them with a nuclear project whether it be for making weapons or even just a peaceful program that will help Iran in the long run, energy-wise; everything does seem to look suspicious over in Iran.
