"Iran has paid at least 4 times the price of a nuclear reactor to russia."

Iran bought far more than a reactor from Russia.

Right now Russia is demanding payment in dollars and not euros.

Iran is refusing to pay in dollars.

"I think they have become reluctant to continue."

I think the Russians are trying to gain favor with Saudi Arabia.

The Saudis are not happy that Iran set up it`s own oil trading market. Nor are they happy with the demand by Iran and Iraq that all oil payments be made in euros not dollars.

How long before the ayatollahs decide Mr. Ahmadinejad is a liability?
