President Obama’s policy of diplomatic engagement with Iran is close to
collapse as Tehran backtracks on a crucial deal aimed at cutting its
stockpiles of nuclear fuel.
Iran agreed a deal “in principle” at talks in Geneva to ship the majority of its low-enriched uranium overseas for
sterling silver jewelry reprocessing into nuclear fuel that could be used for a medical research reactor.
A
deal outlining this was finalised in Vienna this week and a deadline of
midnight tonight was set for the agreement to be sealed with Tehran.
The framework deal, along with an offer to

allow international inspectors into its newly-revealed enrichment plant
at Qom, was hailed as evidence that Iran was responding positively to
the diplomatic track.

rival proposal, demanding that it be allowed to buy higher enriched
uranium directly from abroad.
