Iran Rejects Western Nuclear Proposal
(AP/Washington Post) George Jahn - Iran has told the head of the UN nuclear agency that it does not accept an international proposal committing it to quickly export most of the material it would need to make a nuclear warhead, diplomats said Tuesday. Iran has now told the International Atomic Energy Agency that it wants an alternative plan, effectively rejecting the key demand that it agree to a tight timetable in shipping out most of its enriched uranium. "I'm not sure that they've delivered a formal response, but it is clearly an inadequate response," U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said.
