MR. DUGUID: Well, as the Secretary was there directly with the foreign minister, they ran through the issues that they did discuss. So yes, it was discussed, I do believe. I don't have a complete readout of their meeting, however.

On the general principle, the Secretary also said that Iran has a right to peaceful, civil nuclear power. That is not a question. That has never been a question. However, for any nuclear facility, IAEA regimes are required. And, in this case, that is no different from any other nuclear power plant in countries that subscribe to the international - the accepted international regime.

QUESTION: Well --

MR. DUGUID: Samir.

QUESTION: Wait, wait, wait.

MR. DUGUID: Oh, sorry.

QUESTION: I mean, again, that wasn't really my question. Does the U.S. have a problem with the Russians going ahead and starting up the Bushehr reactor?

MR. DUGUID: We have no problems with Iran having peaceful, civil nuclear power at Bushehr or elsewhere. But we do say that the civil nuclear power with Iran is and should - is mandatorily required to be under IAEA auspices.

QUESTION: Okay.

MR. DUGUID: That is not the case. Iran is in violation of its IAEA agreement and we do not think that moving forward on a business-as-usual basis with Iran is something that we should be doing. The Russians have a position on Bushehr and we will certainly be discussing that with them more.
