Iran's deal to ship its' uranium to Turkey, while insisting on continuing to enrich nuclear fuel, is getting a mixed response globally. Russia's giving it a guarded welcome, but the U.S. and Britain are far from convinced. They're continuing to push the UN into more sanctions against Tehran. The sticking point for the United States is Iran's insistance to carry on enriching its own uranium. But U.S. investigative journalist Webster Tarpley says the deal means his country's strategy to isolate Tehran has failed.
