U.S. can give Iran space to accept atom deal: official

VIENNA (Reuters) - The United States is willing to give Iran time to decide whether to accept a U.N. draft deal that is meant to defuse nuclear tensions with world powers but has drawn Iranian objections, a U.S. diplomat said on Monday.

Addressing Iran's misgivings over sending low-enriched uranium (LEU) abroad before it receives reactor fuel in return, the U.N. nuclear agency chief has suggested Iran ... Read Full Story

Iran's Karoubi attacks Ahmadinejad on U.S. policy

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian opposition figure Mehdi Karoubi, whose supporters clashed with police in a rally last week, accused President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Sunday of double standards in his U.S. policy. Karoubi, who was defeated in June's disputed presidential election, said the populist leader's government had shown more openness toward Washington than previous governments, despite strident anti-U.S. rhetoric. Ahmadinejad has championed a nuclear energy policy that has led Iran into a dispute with the United States and its allies, who say the program could allow Tehran to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies such an intention. "(The government) has been constantly trying to change its policies ... Read Full Story
