Iran offered deal on nuclear plans

Diplomats from six world powers offered Iran new proposals yesterday to ease international concerns about its nuclear programme, but appeared to rejecttehran’s appeals to ease economic sanctions. The proposal by the US and its negotiation partners - the UK, China, Russia, France and Germany - focused on Iran’s highest-level uranium enrichment. Many world leaders fear the 20 per cent enrichment could be quickly turned into warhead-grade material.
