World Major powers have cast doubt on a plan brokered by Brazil and Turkey for Iran to send abroad 1.2 tonnes of its low-enriched uranium (LEU), and pushed through a fourth round of U.N. sanctions against Tehran this month. That offer resurrected parts of a deal brokered by the U.N. nuclear watchdog with three powers in October and which at the time would have divested Iran of 70 percent of its LEU, enough for a nuclear bomb if enriched to higher levels. Western officials have questioned the value of doing the swap now, as Brazil and Turkey have suggested, because Iran has doubled its LEU stockpile and started higher enrichment, a further potential step toward weapons-grade uranium. Despite these issues, the opportunity is still there, the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) said. "There is still time for a low enriched uranium fuel swap deal, which would be in Iran's interest if it intends on fueling the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR) soon," it said in an online commentary. ISIS is one of the main Western think tanks tracking nuclear issues. Iran has said the reactor, which makes isotopes used for cancer treatment, will run out of its Argentine-imported fuel stock at the end of the year. As the talks to replenish this stock stalled, Tehran said it would make the fuel itself and said it started enriching uranium to higher levels in February for this purpose. But ISIS said it cannot complete the plan soon because it lacks the technical ability. "Iran's inexperience in making fuel elements for the TRR raises questions about its claims that it needs to continue enriching up to 19.75 percent, especially given how soon Iran says it intends to produce fuel elements for the reactor," ISIS said. Iran said Wednesday it had enriched 17 kg of uranium to this higher level, underscoring its determination to push ahead with its nuclear work. It says the sanctions against it are illegal and that its atomic program is for peaceful uses only. France, one of the few countries which could produce the reactor fuel now, has said Iran must stop enriching uranium to higher levels if a swap is to take place and address other concerns. The United States and Russia have also said this. (Reporting by Sylvia Westall; editing by David Stamp) World Comments See All Comments (3) | Post Comment Jun 24, 2010 1:14pm EDT Obama’s goal has always been the same as that of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, namely, to dismantle Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities and program. So, what is the difference between demanding suspension of the uranium enrichment program before entering the negotiations room, and demanding the same as soon as entering the room? The President’s promise to pursue diplomacy with Iran has turned out to be similar to many other promises that he made during his campaign: bogus. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has made it repeatedly clear that the “diplomacy” with Iran is about convincing the Europeans that diplomacy will not work with Iran, not about reaching a diplomatic solution. So, it is now crystal clear that the administration’s plan all along has been to go through the diplomatic motions, as Israel’s man in the White House, Dennis Ross, wanted, in order to set the stage for crippling sanctions and possibly war against Iran. DC106 Report As Abusive Jun 24, 2010 2:43pm EDT DC106 – How is Obama’s claim bogus? He did exactly what he said he would do. It’s not his fault Iran doesn’t change its path with either Bush’s old action plan or Obama’s more diplomatic solution. Stop blaming everything on our leader and give up your dissidence and anxiety over losing the election 2 years ago! Obama has followed through with as many of his promises as Reagan had. Many also ridiculed Reagan at the time, but now he is labeled as a great leader. Instead of trying to rip us apart because you don’t like who won the election, why don’t you be a little more constructive and try bringing us all together towards a more constructive state? Salukster Report As Abusive Jun 24, 2010 3:11pm EDT More ridiculous Iran bashing. Iran agreed to a swap. The Israeli-puppet, the US, is demanding Iran be DEPRIVED of the fuel. Everything else is posturing. The US should be helping Iran build the reactors if they were negotiating honestly.
