AP: The United States is taking a time out from browbeating Iran about its nuclear weapons, giving way – for now, at least – while the Europeans try to sweet-talk Iran’s uranium enrichment to a halt. America’s rhetorical muscling of Iran, and the Iranians’ pugnacious reactions, got the world’s attention. But the Europeans’ offer of nuclear fuel, trade benefits and security guarantees drew a promise from Iran to suspend enrichment of uranium. Associated Press
