Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom.

Iran-Turkey Nuclear Fuel Deal Reached

HeadlineMay 17, 2010

Iran has agreed to ship most of its enriched uranium to Turkey in a nuclear fuel swap deal that could ease the international standoff over Iran’s disputed nuclear program. In exchange, Iran would receive low-level nuclear fuel to run a medical reactor. The deal was reached earlier today by the foreign ministers from Iran, Turkey and Brazil. Iran said the swap would be under the supervision of the UN nuclear agency. The Los Angeles Times said the deal could be a stunning breakthrough in the years-long diplomatic deadlock over Iran’s nuclear program. The deal comes at a time when the United States and other world powers were pushing for a new round of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.
