U.S. Unveils Offer To Help Iran Get Medical Isotopes


WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The international community is willing to help Iran procure medical isotopes from abroad, the U.S. State Department said today.

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said he hoped the offer would help to "build some confidence" and aimed to show that Iran's plan to enrich uranium to 20-percent purity for a reactor making isotopes for cancer patients was "unnecessary."

RFE/RL has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian government.
