Iran, Russia to Expand Enrichment Plan

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Tehran and Moscow have agreed to expand the number of countries participating in the plan to enrich Iranian uranium in Russia, Iran said Saturday, describing a compromise that could satisfy U.S. concerns about the nuclear program.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, U.S. and British leaders vowed to exhaust all diplomatic options before turning to sanctions or military action.

The nuclear standoff and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent calls for Israel to be wiped off the map have deepened Iran's isolation and reawakened hostilities between Iran and the West.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki refused to say which other countries would be included. However, a top Iranian nuclear official was just in Beijing to discuss the Russian plan, which is designed to ensure that Tehran does not attempt to produce fuel for nuclear weapons.
