Iran has indicated recently that they would be interested in Russia enriching Uranium for them so they can use it for power stations - if that is indeed true, then it would seem to be evidence that they are telling the truth and not wanting the byproducts of enrichment. Of course, it might not be true and it might be a ploy of some kind - unfortunately, a lot of folks could say the same thing about our own govt.

The sources are not the same as the "yellowcake" sources (which proved to be true, by the way, except for one). The IAEA is one of those sources and has stated that Iran can have nuclear weapons in little more than two years.

And Russia enriching Uranium for Iran to use was part of the original deal for Russia to support the construction of the Nuclear reactor at Bushehr, something Iran has reneged on since then. Iran hasn't sunk billions into enriching uranium only to give it up now, just as Iran hasn't sunk billions into nuclear research to develop electricity - with one of the world's largest reserves of natural gas they could've met their energy needs at a fraction of the cost of their nuclear program.
