Vladimir Putin, when he was president, has secretly ordered in 2006 to sabotage the Iranian nuclear program, according to Wikileaks revelations published Thursday by the Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot. According to the newspaper, the director general of the Israeli Commission for Nuclear Energy, Gideon Frank, met Feb.
7, 2006 the then U.S. ambassador in Tel Aviv, Richard Jones, to inform him of interviews with Senior Russian officials, in particular its Russian counterpart, Sergei Kiriyenko. During these discussions, Mr. Kiriyenko assured Mr. Frank that the Russians intended to delay "for technical reasons" the delivery to Iran of new fuel for its Bushehr plant, according to guidelines of Mr.
Putin. The Russians had taken this decision after the Iranian threats to incite unrest in Chechnya, according to the Wikileaks documents cited by the Yediot Aharonot. The Bushehr plant, a symbol of the accession of Iran to nuclear power, was inaugurated in 2010 but not yet functioning. Its construction was started by Germany, then frozen after the Islamic revolution in 1979 and during the war against Iraq (1980-1988), until Russia resumes the site in 1995.
The major powers suspect Tehran, despite his repeated denials, of wanting to develop nuclear weapons under cover of its civilian nuclear program.
