VIENNA -- Six world powers have readied a resolution critical of Iran's nuclear program, diplomats said yesterday, as Tehran suggested that it was still ready to discuss a U.N.-backed plan meant to delay the Islamic Republic's ability to make a nuclear weapon.
Under the plan, Iran would export its uranium for enrichment in Russia and France, where it would be converted into fuel rods to be returned to Iran about a year later. The plan was embraced by the six powers because it would have committed Tehran to ship out about 70 percent of its enriched uranium stockpile, which can be used to make nuclear fuel or enriched further to fissile warhead material.
