Iran’s nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, made the comments to reporters on Monday.  The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) signaled Tehran was ready to show some flexibility on the United States’ demands to end its nuclear program and adopt a “zero enrichment” policy.

Tehran would consider diluting its stockpile of 60%-enriched uranium, which is close to weapons-grade, if “all sanctions would be lifted in return,” Eslami stated. The AEOI boss did not say whether his proposal was related only to unilateral US sanctions or restrictions imposed on the country by other nations as well.  –RT
