Iran's Nuclear Response Creates a Quandary for Obama

Time by Andrew Lee Butters | Oct. 31, 2009 (News Analysis)

If the Obama Administration had hoped to get the bulk of Iran's current stockpile of enriched uranium out of the country under a new agreement for reprocessing abroad, those hopes are fading fast. The counter-proposal offered by Iran on Thursday contained such substantive revisions that Western officials are interpreting it as a rejection — at least of the aspect of the deal most important to the Western powers.
