Russian officials in charge of construction of Bushehr nuclear project are likely to pay a visit to Tehran later this week, an informed source said here on Sunday.

Iran’s First Vice-President Parviz Dawoodi said that the release of the second Secretary of Iran’s Embassy in Baghdad, Jalal Sharafi, was in no way related to the pardoning of the 15 British troops who trespassed on Iran’s waters.

Tehran believes that the summit of the foreign ministers of Iraq’s neighboring states should be held in Baghdad, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini said.
