VIENNA — The International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran needs more time to decide whether to back a plan that would ship most of the country's uranium abroad for enrichment.
The Vienna-based nuclear watchdog says Iran told IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei that it is "considering the proposal in depth and in a favorable light, but needs until the middle of next week to provide a response."
The draft proposal was put forth Wednesday after three days of talks between Iran and world powers.
The plan was seen as a way to curb Iran's ability to build a nuclear weapon. The United States, Russia and France have already endorsed the deal.
