VIENNA,(Reuters) - Iran could stop enriching uranium at best only as a result of negotiations with big powers, but not as a precondition for such talks as they demand, a senior Iranian official said on Thursday.

It appeared to be the first time Tehran had hinted at the possibility of suspending nuclear fuel enrichment the West sees as an atomic bomb risk. But the insistence that this could only happen after negotiations was likely to be rejected by the major powers.

Iran would never renounce its "legitimate right" to civilian atomic energy under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, said Javad Vaeedi, deputy head of Tehran's national security council and of its nuclear negotiating team.

Iran is behind the Iraqi IEDs and the atrocities of our murdered, tortured, beheaded, Americans in Iraq
and was behind almost every terrorist attack against America for decades.

Why don't we delay some more, and give them more time to finally nuke key American cities
as the MSM clearly wants?

LOL!

NO, he'd just sell them illegal arms for hostages.

Reagan is highly over rated in this regard. Dealing with terrorist acts was not his strong suit.

You think Iran released the hostages @ 12:01 Jan 20,1981 because of Carter's diplomacy?

Reagan threatened to level the place.

I remember the day they released the hostages. It came very quickly...soon after Reagan's presidency was announced. Still makes me smile.
