New York Times: A high-ranking Iranian official said Tuesday that even if the country agreed to a United Nations-sponsored plan to ship its enriched uranium abroad for further processing, it would not ship it all at once, Iranian news media reported.

Wall Street Journal: Iranian media reported Tuesday that Tehran would accept the general framework of a deal to ship out much of its nuclear fuel for enrichment, but it would also request "important changes" to the pact, raising fresh doubt over the agreement.

Reuters: The United States will be ready to respond if Iran fails to take tangible steps soon to meet its commitments over its nuclear program, President Barack Obama's national security adviser warned on Tuesday.

AFP: The United States said Tuesday it expected Iran's verdict on a UN-brokered uranium deal within days, but refused to comment on Tehran's demands for "very important changes."

AP: Iran will persist with its nuclear program despite international concerns, the country's president said Tuesday, as the world awaited Tehran's response to a nuclear deal that could ease tensions with the West.

Reuters: Iran wants major amendments within the framework of a U.N. nuclear fuel deal which it broadly accepts, state media said, a move that could unravel the plan and expose Tehran to the threat of harsher sanctions.
