Iran steps up to the nuclear table

Tehran has presented the "Iran Six" nations with new proposals that Iran's foreign minister calls a "new opportunity for dialogue" with the West. Although the contents are still confidential, Iranian officials hint that for the first time security and economic cooperation will be discussed alongside the ongoing nuclear stalemate. Whether Washington takes this as an honorable detente or a delaying tactic will be key to upcoming talks. - Kaveh L Afrasiabi (Sep 10, '09)
