US denies Iran given new fuel swap proposal

The United States denied on Monday an Iranian report that it had made new proposals along with France and Russia on a nuclear fuel swap, and said "the door remains open" for Tehran to accept a proposal offered in the autumn.

"The door remains open for Iran to accept the practical, fair, and responsible proposal put forth by the IAEA last fall that would enable Iran to meet its medical humanitarian needs as well as build international confidence in Iranian intentions," White House spokesman Mike Hammer said. (Reuters)
