White House Prepared to Allow Limited Iran Nuclear Enrichment
(CNN) Jim Acosta - The Obama administration is "prepared to negotiate a strictly limited enrichment program" with Iran, national security spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said Tuesday in a statement. "But only because the Iranians have indicated for the first time in a public document that they are prepared to accept rigorous monitoring and limits on level, scope, capacity, and stockpiles." Meehan cautioned that agreement to any limited enrichment program in Iran applies only to peaceful energy "needs" and does not amount to U.S. recognition of an Iranian "right to enrich."
