Iran has suspended the enrichment of uranium stockpiles to the 20% purity needed to bring it a short step from building a nuclear device, news services in the region have reported.
Mohammad Hossein Asfari, a member of parliament responsible for foreign policy and national security, was quoted as saying that the move was a "goodwill" gesture, aimed at softening Iran's position before a new round of scheduled talks with the United States after this week's presidential elections.
Asfari said he hoped sanctions would be lifted in return for Iran's actions, otherwise it would resume the programme, according to a website belonging to the Al Arabiya news channel. Talks aimed at halting Iran's enrichment programme have made little progress, leading to the west tightening sanctions and increasing the prospect of military action by Israel.
The Islamic republic's economy has plummeted in the grip of punitive economic measures and Tehran indicated earlier this month that it would be willing to negotiate. However, the offer to suspend enrichment required so many concessions that it was dismissed by the United States.

Obama and Co. have already tried class warfare, their imaginary war on women, the race card, Big Bird martyrdom, Bain Capital, Romney’s tax returns, Hurricane Sandy, and the Tea Party blame game. Now they’re going to announce Obama has persuaded Iran to cease uranium enrichment so they can hold talks after the election; that is, if Mr. Hussein wins. Talk about a crock of crap! If Obama really cared and had that power, he would have done so years ago. Instead, he empowers radical Islamic regimes at the expense of our safety. I, for one, am tired of Obama insulting my intelligence with his endless array of propaganda! This man will do or say anything to win an election!
Dick Morris called this one a long time ago.
They ain't no video, so Iz ain't believing it doc.

Bet even Daffy Duck isn't this stupid!
Both kinds of bombs are useful for terrorism.
I knew you could.
Yeah, that’ll last until about 7:01 pm Tuesday.
There is only one thing that will ever stop the iranians from seeking to bring about a nuclear Armageddon.
Give them the radioactive fire they crave and teach their survivors to fear.
1. CORRECTION: Iran SAID they suspended uranium enrichment — WHO verified it?
2. FOR HOW LONG?! 3 days — until Obama gets reelected?
Wonder how much Obomba paid for THAT!??? So very transparent...I guess that’s what the ONE meant about “transparency”.....
Fortunately most Americans will see through this “November surprise”.
In fact this move coming a mere 3 days before the election is so transparent it will probably backfire and lead to a bigger Romney victory.
Way way way way way way too late. Sorry... by the time the Obama folks spin this into something like a propaganda commercial, it will be Romneytime already.
Let's hope we're both wrong, but I think we're both correct.
I think this means they already have “enough” for their little project...
Question: How many days will it take for republicans to recover after Zero is re-elected?..
1)A day , 2)a week, 3)a month, 4)a year..
It’s not enough to help 0bama at this point, even if it were true.
Iran is looking at a difficult future without 0bama.
They already have the technical understanding to succeed .
You can’t put the poop back in the donkey.
Hey, people. It doesn’t matter if they are lying. It makes obama look good. And we still have the obama killed bin Laden and destroyed al-Qaeda movie to factor in.
Unemployment has just dropped to 5.6% and the deficit has just gone down by $4 Trillion. Next?
