Iran sees Turkish, Brazil nuclear ideas as positive

Iran can work with proposals put forward by Turkey and Brazil to try to revive a stalled UN-backed nuclear fuel swap deal, a senior official said in remarks published on Saturday.

"New formulas have been raised about the exchange of fuel ... I think we can arrive at practical agreements on these formulas," the Iran daily quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast as saying. He did not give details. (Reuters)
