Russia To Examine Iran's Proposals To End Nuclear Row

Apparently Iran has drawn up some proposal that it says will end the current nuclear row with Western powers over it's nuclear weapons program. Russia said that it will examine the proposals and find a way out of the row.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Russia was quoted as saying on Tuesday it was ready to examine Iranian proposals to end a deadlock over Tehran's disputed nuclear program.

Iranian media said Valentin Sobolev, acting secretary of Russia's National Security Council, made the comments at talks with top Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili.

On Monday Jalili said Iran had drawn up "serious" ideas to end the atomic row.

Iran has not revealed details about its proposals.

"Iran's proposed package is a new chance for constructive cooperation aimed at creating regional and international peace and stability," Jalili said.

Ahmadinejad said during a brief visit to India on Tuesday that the package was "comprehensive".

Iran's failure to convince world powers about its intentions has led to three rounds of U.N. sanctions since 2006. Russia and China have been reluctant backers of imposing penalties.

The U.N. Security Council has demanded Iran halt uranium enrichment, the part of Tehran's nuclear program that most worries the West because it can be used to make fuel for power plants or, if desired, material for bombs. Iran has refused.
