Russia: Iran Ready to Stop 20-Percent Enrichment
(AP-TIME) Jim Heintz - Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday that Iran has confirmed that it is ready to halt production of uranium enriched to 20%. "The international community should respond appropriately to the constructive moves by the Iranian side, including step-by-step halting and cancellation of sanctions," Lavrov said. Any halt in 20% enrichment would not necessarily mean any drawdown in enrichment capabilities; the labs could concentrate on producing more lower-grade enriched uranium.
