Iran refused the Vienna draft, which was approved previously by its own representative at the talks. Besides refusing to export its nuclear stocks for reprocessing abroad, Iran wants the international community to recognize its right to further enrich uranium.

Instead of acquiescing to the West’s demands, Iran pressed its own—and so far appears to be winning.
