I doubt it's a coincidence that on the day before the UN Security Council meets to discuss Iran's nuclear enrichment activities Tehran announces plans to build two more nuclear reactors -- and that the Russians will likely be the lead contractor.

American diplomats, who are set to join the EU in direct talks with Iran, will not have an easy time of it given Tehran's skillful diplomatic maneuvering.
