October 21st, 2009 Breaking News The chief of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog agencyless optimistic after Tuesday’s meeting on Iran’s nuclear program than he had after Monday’s meetings.
“There is of course the question of confidence building, guarantees. I think and I believe that we are making progress. It is maybe slower than expected but we are moving forward.”

Delegations from Iran, France, Russia, the United States and the IAEA are meeting in Vienna this week to work out details of a tentative deal reached in early October. That deal calls for low-enriched uranium produced in Iran to be sent abroad for further enrichment and then returned for use in medical research and treatment.
Low-enriched fuel has the potential of being further enriched into weapons-grade material.
According to the plan:
Iran will send its low-enriched uranium to Russia. Russia will then further enrich it, but keep it below weapons-grade, and send it to France.
France will prepare the uranium for use in nuclear reactors by fabricating it into metal rods and send them to Iran.
Iran will then use the rods in its nuclear reactors.
But on Monday, Iran’s state-run media said Tehran had ruled out France as a country from which it would purchase the enriched metal rods.
The French Foreign Ministry refused to comment on the matter until the talks conclude.
