Tehran, Iran, Nov. 12 – Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has announced that the West has stepped back from its nuclear dispute with Iran by no longer demanding a suspension of Iran's uranium enrichment work.
"There is no more talk of suspension … Israelis and a number of Western countries are angry about this", state-run Press TV quoted Ahmadinejad as saying in a live televised interview on Wednesday evening.
Five weeks have passed since an announcement by the Obama administration that Iran had accepted a deal to ship its enriched uranium out of the country, with no deal seemingly in the pipeline.
Iran has long been accused by the West of running a covert nuclear weapons program, while analysts have indicated that current talks are simply an attempt by Iran to buy time to develop any such weapon.
