Tehran is reportedly still ready to accept the principle that - at least for defined period - there would be no industrial-scale uranium enrichment on its own soil; the fuel for its nuclear reactors would be produced abroad and shipped back when spent. But Iran may hold out for a deal that allows it to maintain its 164-centrifuge enrichment cascade at Natanz for research purposes, under additional supervision if necessary. That cascade is too small to create bomb material, but the U.S. and its allies believe even research...
