Russia and Iran joining forces?

[Hitoshura]

I know little about this, but my US History teacher told the class that a friendship is going on between the Russia and Iran leaders.

This is a very bad thing because its just how World War 2 started.

World War 3? I hope not....

WWIII is nuclear warfare... Let's hope it doesn't come to this. I don't know anything about this, if someone could post a good link to a real news source, I would appreciate it.

That's not very similar to how WW2 started at all.

Anyway here's a link to the story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4301889.stm

Russia doesn’t seem to be joining forces with Iran, they're simply selling some of their plentiful Nuclear Fuel and by demanding that the used fuel is returned they are making it very clear that they do not want Iran to have Nuclear weapons. Even if Iran is secretly diverging fuel to a Nuclear weapons program it doesn’t mean they are going to use them. Thanks to mutually assured destruction a nuclear attack is very unlikely.

It appears this isn't 'new's at all, it's nearly 3 years old...

Woops, missed the date but that is the only story that comes up when looking for Iran/Russia news.

Joining forces? Hell no. All they're doing is what they've been doing for the last 30 years: siphoning nuclear fuel. What they do with the fuel isnt Russias problem. Well it is, but they dont want it to be. The only thing new is that they've now admitted to it.
