Under the draft deal, most of Iran's stockpile of low enriched uranium would be shipped out of the country for processing into fuel to make medical isotopes in a research reactor in Tehran.
Negotiators were unable to clinch a final agreement after more than two days of talks in the Austrian capital, apparently because the Iranian delegation, led by the ambassador to Vienna, did not have the authority to sign a far-reaching deal about which there was no consensus in Tehran.
Announcing the draft deal, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director, Mohamed ElBaradei, said it represented a balanced approach, offering to provide Iran with fuel for making medical isotopes, while building international confidence in Iran's intentions by shipping much of its enriched uranium out of the country.

I believe in International freedom. If they shoot one at us, we got laser planes and shit to kill the missile before it hits anything. Then we will actually be at war for a good reason for the first time in more than 50 years.

No one seriously believes that Iran is not intending to build nuclear weapons. I say let them. Every time the issue is brought up, everyone asks "but what about stability in the Middle East?" I would ask "what stability?" Israel is a nuclear despot who's actions in Palestine are the largest reason we now must concern ourselves with organizations like al Qaeda.
Let Iran develop nukes. Israel is pressured to behave like an adult, al Qaeda loses its number one recruiting tool, and we can get the fuck out of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
