Ahmadinejad Backs Nuke Deal—in Some Form

But Iran won't retreat 'even an iota' on right to program

(AP) - Iran will not give up its nuclear program but is ready to cooperate with the West, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a speech today. It's Western powers that have moved, he said in a speech on state television, “from confrontation to interaction” with Iran on the nuclear issue so that “ground has been paved for nuclear cooperation.” Ahmadinejad's remarks appear to reinforce Iran's support for the general outline of a UN-drafted nuclear deal, but he insisted his government "will not retreat even an iota" over the nation's right to pursue a nuclear program.

Tehran preempts Obama accusation, admits to underground enrichment site

(NEWSER) - Iran confirmed today that it has built a second uranium enrichment site in an underground facility hidden from weapons inspectors—a revelation coming just hours before Barack Obama and other Western leaders were prepared to disclose it. The US has been tracking the secret project for years, officials say, but Obama decided to go public, before the G20 summit opens today, after Iran discovered that Western intelligence agencies had unearthed the site.

(NEWSER) - Iran is rapidly moving forward with its nuclear program and may already have enriched enough uranium to take the next step toward building a nuclear bomb, the Financial Times reports.

Iran Nuke Talks Sluggish, But 'Moving Forward'

UN watchdog seems some progress between Tehran, Council members

(NEWSER) - Negotiations over the future of Iran’s nuclear program have been sluggish, the chief United Nations representative at the Vienna talks says this evening. “I believe we are making progress. It is maybe slower than I expected. But we are moving forward,” Mohamed ElBaradei says.
