One Step Forward (Maybe), Two Steps Back

Iran's Nuclear Program

Washington said that it would accept Tehran’s offer of comprehensive talks, even though Iran continues to refuse to negotiate over its nuclear program. The chess move – a strategy designed to force Iran to talk seriously or encourage rising powers to place greater pressure on Tehran to curb its hostile actions – was announced as Beijing and Moscow both refused to support new sanctions against Iran.

Earlier this week, American intelligence agencies reported that Iran has enough nuclear fuel to make a nuclear weapon. It would be risky to rapidly enrich its uranium to bomb-grade material, but possible.
