Reports on offer on Iran 'uranium compromise'
Iran-Russia, Politics, 11/11/2005

Russia was reported Thursday to be proposing a compromise plan that will permit Iran to continue uranium conversion at its Isfahan plant, IRNA reported yesterday.

The report said: According to the Financial Times, the offer is being put forward by secretary of Russia's National Security Council, during his three-day visit to Tehran, which begins on Friday.

The proposal was said to recognize Iran's right to nuclear technology as well as providing safeguards against the diversion of materials for any weapons program.

The key concession, previously rejected by the European Union, was to allow the development of an early part of the fuel cycle but stipulates that all uranium enrichment be carried out on Russian territory, the British daily suggested.
