Iran on Friday failed to accept a U.N.-drafted plan for it to cut a stockpile of nuclear fuel that the West fears could be used for weapons, and instead said it wanted to buy nuclear fuel from abroad.THERE ARE ONLY TWO REASONS PEOPLE FALL FOR THIS IRANIAN CRAP: THEIR FREAKIN IDIOTS AND DUPES OR THEIR WILLING ALLIES.The deal drafted by the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) has already been approved by the other parties -- the United States, Russia and France.
By offering a rival proposal, Iran appeared to be following a well-tested strategy of buying time to avert a threatened tightening of international sanctions.
Iran's reported counter-offer appeared at first glance to offer the West little.
THE SOONER SOMEONE BOMBS THEM THE BETTER.
THE LONGER WE WAIT, THE WORSE WILL BE THE OUTCOME.
UPDATE: even France isn't pleased:
France has warned that Iran is not responding positively to a proposed deal over its nuclear enrichment plans.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, a UN agency, had suggested exporting most of Iran's enriched uranium to Russia and France for further refining.
As the deadline neared for Iran to respond to the draft agreement, Iranian TV reported that Iran would prefer to buy uranium for its research reactor.
The French foreign minister said "matters are not very positive."
UPDATE #2:
Iran's state TV quoted an unnamed source close to the Iranian nuclear negotiating team as saying Iran wants to buy nuclear fuel it needs for a research reactor, rather than accept the UN proposed plan.
The official said Teheran has its own proposal on purchasing nuclear fuel and would wait for a response from the world powers.
While the TV report was not an outright rejection, it raised concerns since Iran has often used counterproposals as a way to draw out nuclear negotiations with the West.
On Thursday, Iran's deputy speaker of the parliament, Mohammad Reza Bahonar, dismissed the UN plan, saying Iran cannot accept US demands to ship its low enriched uranium abroad.
