The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency announced that Iran has agreed to a draft deal to transfer most of its nuclear material abroad. The proposal came after three days of talks between leaders from Iran, the United States, France, and Russia, who have until Friday to approve the deal. The plans call for Iran to transfer its stockpile of nuclear fuel to Russia for reformatting, which then would be returned for use in a medical research reactor. Larry discusses details of the agreement.
