Iran will deliver to the UN atomic watchdog its much-awaited response to a Western-backed nuclear deal aimed at shipping abroad Tehrans low-enriched uranium. According to Tehran Times, an informed source announced that Iran in its response has accepted the general framework of the proposal drafted by Elbradei in Vienna, but some modifications have been made. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed as positive Iran's decision to allow UN nuclear inspectors access to a recently disclosed nuclear enrichment plant in the Islamic Republic.I also welcome the draft agreement circulated by the IAEA related to the supply of fuel for the Tehran research reactor, he said, adding that it would constitute an important confidence building measure and could set the stage for further advances in the negotiations.
