Russia should fill commitments on Bushehr power plant: Iran

Russia should act upon its commitments on making Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran operational, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi yesterday.

Speaking to domestic and foreign reporters in his last appearance as Foreign Ministry spokesman, Asefi said regretfully the Russian party has not yet acted properly upon its commitments on completing the construction of the 1,000-MW power plant.

"They (Russians) should act in more practical manner," the spokesman stressed.

Commenting on possible sanctions against Iran by the United Nations Security Council, Asefi said "It's to soon to talk about sanctions."

Stressing that Tehran has chalked out necessary plan of action to deal with any possible sanction, the spokesman said in view of its great potentials, Iran has the power to deal with the situation (if it arises).
