Iran Stalls Again: Says It Reaches "Basic" Deal With Russia, But Does Not Declare End Of Home-Grown Enrichment
They're going to stall themselves into a bomb. Hopefully one of ours. Or actually hopefully 100 or ours.
Iran has reached a "basic" agreement with Russia on jointly enriching uranium, officials said on Sunday -- but there was no immediate sign that it would suspend home-grown enrichment to allay fears that it is developing nuclear weapons.
It was unclear what this basic agreement involved and both Russian and Iranian officials identified serious obstacles to a full deal.
These principally concerned a suspension of Tehran's home-grown uranium enrichment work, the main demand of Western powers who are threatening to press for UN sanctions.
