Talks For Deal On Iranian Uranium

Leaders from Iran, Russia, France, and the US met today to work out an arrangement concerning Iran's controversial nuclear program. The original plan was to send uranium from Iran to France and Russia to be treated. This would ensure that Iran gets the uranium they need for their program, and it would ease Western concerns about nuclear weapons. However, there are still details to resolve, including any idea if Iran is truly willing to give up control of their supply of uranium. Abolfazl Zohrehvand, an aide to Iran's leading nuclear negotiator, said that "only enrichment over 5% would be done outside Iran". He also stressed the importance of keeping the technology and techniques of enrichment, and keeping their research facilities.
