[poiuytrewq0987]

Iranian engineers have begun loading fuel into the country's Russian-built first nuclear plant in the southern port of Bushehr, marking a milestone in Tehran's atomic programme despite UN sanctions.

AFP - Iran said on Saturday it has started loading fuel into its Russian-built first nuclear power plant, in the face of stiff opposition from world powers over its controversial atomic programme.

After decades of delay, engineers finally began loading the Russia-supplied fuel into the plant in the southern port of Bushehr, in the presence of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors, a statement by Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation said.

If Israel still wants to attack Iran - they are too late as the area is under Russian protection.
