Iran Offers Compromise: considers halting uranium enrichment
/Tehran may stop its enrichment of high-grade uranium if it is given nuclear fuel for research and medical reactors in exchange, Iranian officials said. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ramin Mehmanparast said during a Eurasian media summit in Kazakhstan on Friday that, "If a guarantee is provided to supply the 20 percent [enriched] fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor, our officials are ready to enter talks.” German newspaper Der Spiegel earlier quoted Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi as saying that, "If our right to enrichment is recognized, we are prepared to offer an exchange.”
