Iran may end higher level uranium enrichment if world powers supply nuclear fuel for a medical research reactor, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters in New York. He proposed setting a date to resume talks with the six powers, suggested October, and defended his UN remarks challenging U.S. and U.N. responses. He noted Iran was forced to pursue enrichment to support patients and urged a fact finding commission on Sept. 11 attacks, while criticizing U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also met with Sarah Shourd, one of three Americans detained in Iran, and pressed for their release on humanitarian grounds.
