Tehran
Iran’s new nuclear secretary, Ali Larijani, said this week he would gladly revive negotiations over the status of Iran’s nuclear programs. But it was unclear what compromise was possible. The talks appeared hopelessly deadlocked last week after Iran rejected a European offer to provide reactor fuel in exchange for an Iranian pledge not to enrich uranium. Larijani, who is considered more hard-line than his predecessor, insists that Iran will develop the entire nuclear fuel cycle—including uranium enrichment, a technology that can be used to make fuel for bombs or power plants. “We should try to solve the problem in a friendly way,” Larijani said.
