S African proposal to halt Iran N-crisis

South Africa has proposed a compromise to break the diplomatic crisis over Iran’s nuclear programme, after Tehran on Wednesday removed United Nations seals from a uranium conversion facility in order to resume work on producing nuclear fuel.

Pretoria’s intervention came as an emergency board meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency adjourned without agreement on a resolution that would call on Iran to reinstate the suspension of its nuclear work. Talks are expected to continue on Thursday. The resolution, drafted by Western nations, ran into opposition from developing countries.
