Flynt discussed the Iranian uranium enrichment deal as part of this excellent segment on Al Jazeera’s Inside Story.
Flynt suggests that Iran’s decision to ask for more time before making a decision on the P5+1 offer to take Iranian uranium out of the country for enrichment is likely the result of a sincere effort to reconcile differing opinions within the Iranian political system.
As Flynt explains, Iran originally proposed that it buy enriched uranium for its reactor from the United States or one of the other P5+1 partners. Sending Iran’s own uranium abroad for enrichment is a much different decision – and the Islamic Republic needs to decide whether it is in its interest to do so.
