Iran pursues nuclear ambitions, produces yellowcake uranium

The World

American and European diplomats are meeting in Geneva today in hopes of building a framework for future talks on tempering Iran’s nuclear ambitions. But yesterday, Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization announced that it had produced yellowcake uranium from domestically-mined ore ? a breakthrough that eliminates Iran’s reliance on imports for their nuclear goals.

Joining us to discuss the future nuclear landscape and Iran’s position in the world is Stephen Kinzer, author of “Reset: Iran, Turkey and America’s Future.”
