Iran announced today that it's begun suspending its most advanced nuclear enrichment, which could produce fuel for atomic bombs. UN inspectors agree. In response, Western nations will relax economic sanctions and begin six months of negotiations to make a permanent deal. It could mark the beginning of the end of Iran's diplomatic isolation, but hardliners on both sides call it a sham. Is Iran still hiding efforts to produce an atomic bomb? Are the Western powers, China and Russia just trying to maintain their monopoly on nuclear weaponry?
