Iran Feature: Tehran Sees US Nuke Proposal as "Good Start"? (Mostaghim)
On Friday, we noted a report in the Los Angeles Times, fed by unnamed US officials, which pointed to an American offer on Iran's uranium enrichment. We asked, "Will Iran, with its new-found capability to enrich to 20%, be willing to pull back to 5%? And if so, what will it seek in return from the US and European powers?"
Now an answer: "Iranian officials expressed skepticism Saturday about possible Obama administration support for allowing the country to continue enriching some uranium but said it could be a good start for further negotiations on its disputed nuclear program."
