The letter was delivered to the director general of the IAEA Mr Amano at 2:00pm Vienna time, Soltanieh said.The world powers have cold-shouldered this proposal which itself is a counter-proposal to an earlier October plan brokered by the IAEA which hit deadlock with each group insisting on conditions unacceptable to the other.
