Report: Iran, Russia Reach Enrichment Deal

By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 31 minutes ago

TEHRAN, Iran -
Iran's envoy to the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said Saturday the Islamic republic had reached a "basic deal" with the Kremlin to form a joint uranium enrichment venture on Russian territory, state-run television reported.

Ali Asghar Soltanieh, envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency, "spoke of a basic agreement between Iran and Russia to set up a joint uranium enrichment firm on Russian soil," Iranian state television reported.

It remained unclear, though, whether Iran would entirely give up enrichment at home, a top demand of the West, or whether the joint venture would complement Iran's existing enrichment program. Enriched uranium can be used to fuel nuclear reactors that generate electricity or to make atomic bombs.

2. Today Wes Clark said: trust but verify

He said that we need 1) to talk with Iran...face to face and 2) make sure that the IAEA is overseeing this arrangement. He also said that Iran is playing with us. Waiting and hoping for a transcript.
