Iran wants to change nuke deal

TEHERAN: Iran will accept the framework of a UN-drafted nuclear fuel deal but will demand some "important changes", Al-Alam state television reported yesterday.

The Arabic-language satellite television station, citing an unnamed official, said Iran would present its response to the proposed agreement within 48 hours.

Al-Alam did not give details about on what kind of changes Teheran would seek to the draft agreement hammered out by UN nuclear agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei in consultations with Iran, Russia, France and the United States in Vienna last week.
