Associated Press May 16, 2006 VIENNA, Austria - Key European nations are considering offering Iran a light-water nuclear reactor as part of incentives meant to persuade Tehran to give up its uranium enrichment program, a senior diplomat said Tuesday.
But a U.S. official said Washington would likely oppose the plan. A senior diplomat familiar with international attempts to dissuade Iran from enrichment said the tentative plans still were being discussed among France, Britain and Germany as part of a possible package to be presented Friday to senior representatives of the five permanent U.N. Security Council members. |

Wednesday May 17, 2006 US President George W. Bush's administration will lobby lawmakers to push through a civilian nuclear deal with India which lacks crucial support in Congress, a senior official said.
"We have great respect for the leadership and role of Congress and separation of powers and we are happy to talk to Congress about the various ideas about how to arrive at a satisfactory positive vote in the House and Senate to approve the deal the administration has put forward," Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said. |

Associated Press May 17, 2006 TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday rejected a possible European offer for incentives, including a light-water nuclear reactor, in return for allaying fears about his country's nuclear program by giving up uranium enrichment.
"Do you think you are dealing with a 4-year-old child to whom you can give some walnuts and chocolates and get gold from him?" Ahmadinejad told thousands of people in a speech in central Iran. |
