TIME.com: Why Russia and China Hold the Key to an Iranian Nuclear Deal -- Page 1: "The Bush Administration hopes the Iranians, confronted with the prospect of UN action, will buckle and accept the Western insistence that Iran cannot be permitted to enrich uranium on its own soil (because this technology and industrial capacity would allow it also to create the fissile fuel necessary for a nuclear weapon)."

"Iran was always iffy about that proposal, but when Russia sought to sweeten the deal by allowing for some limited enrichment for research purposes in Iran, the U.S. balked. (Permitting any enrichment activity would allow Iran to perfect its techniques, and also provide it with cover for procuring nuclear technology that could aid a bomb program.)"

It's refreshing to see Time actually mention some facts with regard to the possiblities for Iran if allowed to follow through on their plans.
