Russia, which built Iran's first nuclear power station, announced Thursday it might help the Islamic Republic construct more plants.

The statement by the head of Russia's state nuclear corporation came as Moscow hosted a senior Iranian official.

"We are working on it, we have a corresponding assignment," Rosatom chief Sergei Kiriyenko told Prime Minister Vladimir Putin at a meeting of Russia's inner government.

"As the construction of atomic energy reactors does not provoke doubts among the international community and is not in any way related to sensitive questions, it is fully possible," Kiriyenko said.

For his part, the Deputy Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Baqeri reveled from Moscow that "his country has agreed to discuss the step-by-step plan with Russia more deeply and in more detail."

Commenting on the recent International Atomic Energy Agency report, the UN official said "the report was baseless, politically motivated and might have been an attempt to undermine Moscow's proposal to remove constructive solutions from the agenda."

"In the IAEA report there is no window for the resolution of questions, no flexibility and no goodwill," Baqeri told a news conference.
He said Iran intended to build nuclear power plants providing 20,000 megawatts of electricity within 20 years.
