Iran envoy: We wish to cooperate for deal with big powers

The Iranian president's announced readiness to send enriched uranium abroad signals a wish to cooperate for a deal with big powers to ease nuclear tension, Tehran's envoy to the UN atomic agency said on Thursday.

Ambassador Ali Asghar Soltanieh told Reuters he had not notified the International Atomic Energy Agency of any new Iranian position on the IAEA-brokered proposal, stalled for months by disputes over where and how to carry it out. (Reuters)
