Iranian officials on Saturday dismissed a New York Times report saying Iran had offered a “nine-step plan" for resolving a standoff with the U.S. and its allies over its nuclear program, calling the report “baseless."
The Times, quoting unnamed senior Obama administration officials, reported Friday that Iran had quietly proposed a plan to European officials in July that called for Western oil and other economic sanctions against their country to be lifted. In exchange, according to the plan, Tehran would gradually suspend the production of the uranium that would be easiest for it to convert into a nuclear weapon. The nuclear talks have been dragging on for several years now.
