Iran nuke plant finished -- NASA still restricted from Russian space purchases?

Does this render the Sensenbrenner anti-proliferation constraint

on NASA purchase of Russian space stuff moot?

Sort of a fait accompli d'espace, n'est-pas?

Peter Lavelle// 10-16-4 // Russia Completes Iranian Nuclear Power Plant

MOSCOW (UPI) - Russia and Iran announced Thursday that the Islamic
Republic's controversial nuclear power plant has been completed.

Iran's Beshehr nuclear plant, estimated to have cost $800 million, has
angered the United States, which is concerned that spent nuclear fuel could
be used to construct weapons.

Under enormous international pressure, Russia has stood by Iran in its
bid to generate nuclear energy. To reassure the world, Russia has stated
that it will continue to pressure Iran to honor agreements stipulated by the
International Atomic Energy Agency. However, doubts remain.
