In the global climate of real or imagined nuclear proliferation, Russian and Iran are beginning to lock horns, stimulated by the stance of the United Nations. Russia has informed Iran that it will be withholding nuclear fuel from the country until they cease uranium enrichment, as prompted by the U.N. Russia has reportedly been helping build nuclear facilities in Iran, which has proved to be extremely profitable for the nation.

Russia received a letter from the U.N., demanding an ultimatum be given to Iran. Russia complied, but did so rather willingly as it seems Iran has ‘forgot to pay the bills’ to Russia. Iran enriching uranium could prove to be disastrous- as other European nations and the United States all have been pushing at.

The United States offered an incentive to Russia, making sure guidelines were in check to make sure Iran could only use the enriched uranium in power plants, and not weapons. It would have Russia enrich the uranium in its own country- not on site in Iran.

After the enriching continued, Russia offered a single ultimatum: freeze the enriched uranium supply or never receive another nuclear fuel shipment. Iran also owes Russia nearly $50 million for the service, which is 2 months of late bills. Iran, of course, has denied the payments being delayed.

It is expected that Russia will follow the U.S. incentive, and begin enriching the uranium in its own territory. A practice that will help us all sleep at night, with fewer nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran.
