Iran says it has reached a firm agreement with Russia to complete the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said negotiations are continuing, but are mostly technical. Construction of the plant has been delayed by a dispute over payments, but Hosseini said high ranking Russian officials have agreed to complete the project.

Hosseini also said Iran had not decided whether to continue talking with the US about security in Iraq. Iran and the US have held three rounds of talks at the invitation of the Iraqi government.
