Iran to freeze uranium enrichment for period of six weeks? An Iranian American academic reads at a Farsi-language news site that "Iran will accept a 6 week suspension if formally asked by the EU 5+1, as a precondition for starting talks. Some Majlis deputies have confirmed that head of the Iranian atomic energy organization, Mr. Gholamreza Aghazadeh, has stated Iran's agreement with this plan, and that talks with EU 5 will begin next week. Apparently such a 6 week 'suspension-while-negotiation' plan was part of Solana's proposal to Iran."

He warns that "as in everything in Iran, things could change tomorrow."

Wire reports indicate that Iran has signalled intentions to resume nuclear talks with the P5+Germany next week.

Update: More.
