Iran to Ship Its Uranium to Turkey in Nuclear Deal
(New York Times) Alan Cowell and Alexei Barrionuevo - Iranian state media said on Monday that Brazil and Turkey had brokered a compromise with Tehran in the international standoff over Iran's nuclear program, a development that could undermine efforts in the UN to impose new sanctions on the Iranians. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Iran had agreed to send some 1,200 kilograms of its lightly enriched uranium to Turkey in exchange for a total of 120 kilograms enriched to a higher level - 20%.
