Iran Mocks Kerry's Idea for a Deal on Uranium

NY Sun

WASHINGTON - The regime in Iran is rejecting Senator Kerry's proposal, floated last week in his debate with President Bush, to provide the mullahs with nuclear fuel in exchange for dismantling their atomic fuel cycle.

The spokesman for the foreign ministry in Tehran told reporters yesterday, "We have the technology and there is no need for us to beg from others." Entering such an agreement, the spokesman, Hamid Reza Asefi, said, would be "irrational."

"What guarantees are there?" he said. "Will they supply us one day and then, if they want to, stop supplying us on another day?"

This isn't something new.
The reason Kerry came up with this is in the debate is because the US administration was already talking about it with Europe but Bush didn't want to go that route.

Looks like Bush was right.
