Iran Accepts Draft Agreement on Uranium Production

HeadlineOct 22, 2009

Iranian negotiators have accepted a draft agreement that would see most of Iran’s enriched uranium transferred abroad. Under the deal, Russia and France would help convert Iranian uranium to help fuel a research reactor used for medical purposes. The agreement still requires approval from Iranian leaders. On Wednesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the deal would herald an early test of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “The door is open to a better future with Iran. But the process of engagement cannot be open-ended. We are not prepared to talk just for the sake of talking. As President Obama noted after the October 1st meeting in Geneva, we appeared to have made a constructive beginning, but that needs to be followed up by constructive actions.”
