MOSCOW, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Russia's atomic chief said Thursday he saw no reason why nuclear cooperation with Iran cannot resume.

"I don't see any obstacles to continuing our cooperation with Iran," Sergey Kiriyenko, head of Rosatom said at a news conference.

The comments were reported by the Interfax news agency.

The remarks were in response to a question on cooperation between the two sides on the Bushehr nuclear plant. He said Bushehr "complies strictly with all international norms and rules and does not concern issues of nonproliferation."

He said under an agreement reached with Iran on the plant all fuel will be produced and delivered from Russia.

The United States has criticized the deal because of proliferation concerns. It says Iran is using its nuclear program to build weapons. Tehran denies the charge.
