And while Rohani promised that "Iran would accept an IAEA verifiable cap on enrichment limit of reactor grade uranium" on Iranian territory, that would not meet the concerns of the U.S. and most of its European allies...
...allusion to the opening scene of The Simpsons, two radioactive fuel rods (containing enriched uranium) were haphazardly misplaced for weeks. As if that were not enough, sporadic ignitions—of various transformers and of the reactor itself—have kept Vermonters on their toes.

But that demand may translate into a renewed push for a compromise in which Iran accepts that its reactor fuel be enriched in Russia but is allowed to keep a small-scale facility under IAEA supervision for enrichment research purposes. The U.S. flatly rejected such a proposal in March (on the grounds that it would allow Iran to gain important nuclear know-how), but if the alternative is confrontation, it may begin to look more appealing to some of its allies. Both Germany...
