Russia hopeful of diplomatic success in Iran
None
Russia's UN ambassador said Tuesday that efforts to resume negotiations with Iran over its disputed nuclear program and reach a nuclear fuel-swap deal for Tehran's research reactor hold "promise" of success.
Vitaly Churkin said "useful exchanges" are taking place in capitals on restarting nuclear talks between six major powers and Iran and in Vienna on a proposal by Brazil and Turkey to exchange low-enriched Iranian uranium for higher-enriched fuel rods that can be used in the research reactor but not in nuclear weapons.
