Ahmadinejad: Iran may end enrichment

Iran would consider ending uranium enrichment, the most crucial part of its controversial nuclear activities, if world powers send Tehran nuclear fuel for a medical research reactor, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said tonight.

Iran was also prepared to set a date for resumption of talks with six world powers to discuss Tehran’s nuclear programme, Ahmadinejad told a news conference in a New York hotel, saying October would be the likely time for the two sides to meet.
