On the Iran nuclear story

On the Iran nuclear story: The Associated Press reported Iran offered to stop large-scale work on nuclear fuel for two years, but it insisted on continuing small-scale efforts. The proposal circulated at a meeting of the UN nuclear agency in Vienna, Austria. The Iranian delegate said his country is committed to resolving the issue. --- We still hope that a wise decision is made and the Russians and others spare no effort to make sure that there would be peaceful settlement of this issue and do not let unilateral policy of the United States to take the multilateral diplomacy as a hostage.But in Washington, vice president Cheney warned Iran would face meaningful consequences if it continues a nuclear program. Russia has been negotiating with Iran, but the Russian foreign minister said today there was no compromise in sight.
