Iran: 'Ready to Cooperate' on Nuclear Fuel Exchange

It seems coincidental that Iran say's this at about the same time that the IAEA raps up it's investigation that it says was "Good" .
Isn't this how it went when all the inspections in Iraq were first being done ?

....VOA
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says his country is "ready to cooperate" with Western powers on a United Nations-brokered nuclear fuel deal.

In a televised address Thursday, Mr.Ahmadinejad said Western nations have moved from "confrontation to cooperation."

The International Atomic Energy Agency's proposal would have Iran send its uranium abroad for low-level enrichment for use in a research reactor. The plan is aimed at preventing Iran from enriching uranium to the point that it can be used for nuclear weapons.

Iranian state media reported that Iran's envoy to the IAEA Ali Asghar Soltanieh will present a formal response to the proposal in Vienna Thursday.

Meanwhile, a team of U.N. nuclear inspectors returned earlier Thursday from a visit to a previously secret uranium enrichment site in Iran.

The head of the IAEA's four-member mission, Herman Nackaerts, said in Vienna the team had visited Iran's Fordo facility and had what he called a "good trip."
