INSIDE IRAN
To duck curbs, Iran ready for nuke fuel swap
By Raj Chengappa
Editor-in-Chief

It’s being regarded as a major diplomatic coup that could spell the beginning of the end of the isolation of Iran from world affairs. On the sidelines of the G-15 summit being attended by India, a smiling Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva dramatically announced that the three countries had arrived at a deal that could possibly break the nuclear stalemate, stave off sanctions being contemplated by the UN and the US against Iran and bring the contentious issue back to the negotiating table.
