VIENNA (AP) -- Moscow has warned Iran that it will not deliver fuel to a nearly completed Russian-built nuclear reactor unless Tehran lifts what it calls the veil of secrecy on suspicious past atomic activities, a European diplomat said Tuesday.

However, a U.S. official told The Associated Press that the Russians are not meeting other commitments that would allow the Iranians to activate the Bushehr nuclear reactor, and suggested the delays were an attempt to pressure Tehran into showing more compliance with UN Security Council demands. Both men demanded anonymity because their information was confidential.
Iran last month told the International Atomic Energy Agency that it would answer remaining questions about its nuclear activities
