ISFAHAN, Iran (AP) -- Supreme National Security Council official says Iran has agreed to a two-day delay in reopening its nuclear processing plant, at U.N. request.
The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency urged Iran not to jeopardize its negotiations with the European Union after Iran informed the International Atomic Energy Agency that it planned to resume reprocessing uranium today.
Agency chief Mohammed ElBaradei urged Iran "to continue the negotiation process" with European negotiators and "not to take any action that might prejudice the process at this critical stage."
He also called on Iran "not to take any unilateral action that could undermine the agency inspection process."
Britain, Germany and France have been negotiating with Tehran in an attempt to persuade Iran to drop its enrichment program in return for incentives.

That will give the guys in the white hats time to calibrate their sights.
I would handicap the "under-over" of the Israeli's bombing this facility after it open at 90 days.
The Europeans are so retarded on this issue. I like GW's strategy of showing them how we do it and get results and how they do it and get no-where. Unfortunately, a nuclear armed Iran is a nightmare, so we may have to show the Europeans again real soon how mitigate our risks in this brave new world.
