Iran Accused of Playing Games on Nuclear Deal -Richard Spencer
Britain and other EU nations were preparing to reject Iran's counterproposal on sending its uranium abroad for enrichment, raising the threat of a protracted confrontation and new sanctions. Britain, France and Germany believe Iran is trying to use the deal merely as a starting point for another protracted round of talks. During that time they think the Iranians could
continue to enrich uranium and conduct more research on the scientific know-how necessary to turn it into a nuclear weapon.
"It's like playing chess with a monkey," said one diplomat close to the talks. "You get them to checkmate, and then they swallow the king."

The long-awaited Iranian answer appeared to dash hopes that Tehran would be willing to quickly embrace engagement with the West on its nuclear program.
Obama administration officials will now need to assess whether engagement has run its course - and whether to shift toward tougher sanctions.
