But the plant's construction has been strongly opposed by Isreal amid fears that it forms a part of Iran's suspected nuclear weapons development programme.
Iran began injecting the first supply of nuclear fuel into the Bushehr nuclear power plant on Saturday, after Russia delivered its ffirst [sic] batch of nuclear fuel.
The fact that Russia is supplying Iran with fuel is "very positive," as it demonstrates that Tehran could rely on foreign suppliers for its fuel need, Blix told the BBC on Sunday.
In case anyone still had any illusions about whose side Mr. Blix is on.
The remarks came on the heel of similar claims by State Department spokesman Darby Holladay.
Holladay acknowledged that the Iranian nuclear facility carries no risk of proliferation but stressed that launching the power plant "underscores that Iran does not need an indigenous enrichment capability if its intentions are purely peaceful."
In case anyone still had any illusions about whose side the State Department is on.
The west insists that Iran should exchange its low-enriched uranium abroad for fuel for a medical research reactor.
However, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi has rejected such claims.
"Suppose we receive the required nuclear fuel for the plant from the Russians for the next ten years, what are we going to do for the next 30 to 50 years?" the Iranian nuclear point man queried on Saturday…
In other words, the Iranians are going to continue to pursue highly enriched uranium – for their massive medical research program.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Thursday he has warned Syria's ruler that he will face a "sad fate" if he fails to introduce reforms in his country and open a peaceful dialogue with the opposition.....
Russia — which has had close political ties with Syria since Soviet times and provided it with weapons — had urged Assad to find a compromise with the opposition but warned that the West shouldn't interfere in Syrian affairs with such a resolution.
But on Wednesday, after Russia and other countries dropped their long-standing opposition, the U.N. Security Council finally responded to the escalating violence in Syria by condemning Assad's forces for attacking civilians and committing human rights violations.
