(Reuters) The White House has begun to take steps in case Iran fails to accept an enrichment fuel deal aimed at calming concerns about its nuclear program, spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Tuesday. "Mr. Ahmadinejad may not recognize, for whatever reason, the deadline that looms, but that is a very real deadline for the international community," Gibbs said. "We have offered them a different path. If they decide not to take it, then the (major powers) will move accordingly....Those preparations have begun. Discussions have been had with leaders about those next steps."
