Reactor deal shaping up

The Russian foreign minister says Iran and six world powers have reached a preliminary deal for Russia to help enrich uranium for an Iranian reactor.

Sergey Lavrov says the tentative agreement was reached at last week's talks in Geneva. He said yesterday that experts would have to work out specifics of the deal that will involve the US, France, Russia and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Iran needs the fuel to power a research reactor in Teheran.
