Teheran finds Russia’s enrichment proposal ‘attractive’
2006-11-23
MOSCOW - Teheran considers a proposal to enrich uranium for Iranian use on Russian soil ‘attractive,’ Iranian Ambassador to Russia Gholamreza Ansari said Wednesday, the news agency Interfax reported.

Iran’s rulers are ready to discuss the proposal, the ambassador said, provided Russia clarify certain details of its proposal. ‘A few points have to be cleared up,’ Ansari said, adding they included Iran’s role in the financing and ‘marketing’ of the project, as well as what sort of technological support Teheran would offer.

RussiaÂ’s Foreign Affairs Ministry did not immediately comment.

#5  Only Khamenei's "faction" matters, as far as I can tell - as an outsider. If you have substantive proof that he is not in total command of every power lever, I'd love to see it.

#4  A number of the Iranians are getting concerned with the huge cost and minimal progress of the indigenous enrichment project. This faction would like to cut a deal with Russia.

Other factions (including the ruling one)want as little as possible in the way of foreign involvement in the nuclear enterprize.

#3  Yup. I should add it was an enormous relief, too, since the Eunix were all for it and Putty can be trusted as far as you can throw him.

Negotiations are over. They won't stop - they believe they have the entire non-Shia world over a barrel. Only time will tell if they are right in their calculations.
