Russia confirms Iranian nuclear plant launch date

Article

The Iranian Bushehr nuclear power plant under construction by Russian engineers will be launched in August, Prime Minister Putin has announced.

Russia took over the half-constructed plant in 1995, but the project was postponed several times for various reasons. The construction was finished by spring 2009, and now the plant is undergoing a pre-launch test.

The scheduled launch will not be harmed by new sanctions against Iran, which the UN Security Council is soon to consider.

I wonder what the US goverment is going to think about this. August is only a couple months away, so we will see soon. The plant construction began in 1975, but has been delayed over and over again.
