Iran gives ultimatum for nuclear deal
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told state TV Saturday that the West must "make a decision" regarding the Iranian counterproposal. The proposal suggests either selling Tehran the fuel or swapping it for Iran's enriched uranium.
Mottaki says this is an "ultimatum."
He says the international community "has one month left" to decide - or Tehran will begin enriching uranium to higher levels needed for the fuel.
Iran dismissed an end-of-2009 deadline on a U.N.-drafted deal to swap enriched uranium for nuclear fuel. The deal would have reduced Iran's capabilities to make nuclear weapons, reported The Associated Press.
