'Bush loser of battle against Iran'
Washington, 2007 Dec 19 Dec, Press TV
Russia's first shipment of nuclear fuel to Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant highlights the US defeat in a long battle, analysts say.
The delivery came amid a US intelligence report which confirmed the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program and left Washington no choice but to concede that it could no longer keep prodding Russia to delay shipping the fuel.
“If the Russians are willing to do that, which I support, then the Iranians do not need to learn how to enrich, If the Iranians accept that uranium for a civilian nuclear power plant, then there's no need for them to learn how to enrich” claimed US president George Bush amidst fake supports.
Political analysts say the US failed in its attempts to impede the Tehran-Moscow nuclear deal by waging a psychological warfare.
"The Bush administration took pains not to criticize the Russian move publicly," an article published in the New York Times newspaper on Tuesday read.
Observers added that Washington appeared to be putting the best spin on a decision it had long opposed.
Bush's comments were an attempt to 'make lemonade out of this lemon'; Los Angeles Times quoted Robert J. Einhorn, a former top weapons proliferation official as saying.
The Bushehr power plant which is constructed by Russia's Atomstroyexport would be ready technically to operate in the upcoming months.
