And there have been reports in recent days that the U.S. proposed a compromise whereby Iran could enrich low-grade uranium, but give up its stockpiles of higher enriched uranium, which could be used to make a nuclear weapon.

Well, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei yesterday dismissed any notion that Iran would stop all enrichment, saying it goes 100% against Iran's sovereignty. And he's repeatedly said the country has the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.

You know, experts I've spoke to say Iran may well be stalling on striking a deal. You know, it's in a very weak position. Its economy is wrecked by years of sanctions. And now it's possibly facing an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities.
