But the Iranians did not agree that at all, it said it would suspend its uranium enrichment for nuclear power fuel…as the NY Times reported ” Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator said Tuesday that Iran would suspend its uranium enrichment activities for only a few months while negotiations with Europe for a longer-term accord continued, but would never wholly abandon the program. …”Suspension must be for as long as we are negotiating with Europe,” Mr. Rowhani, who is also secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, said at a news conference. “Its period must be reasonable.”
