LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Former chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix says diplomacy remains the best option for getting Iran to stop enriching uranium.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Blix said that there are even more incentives that could be offered to Iran for abandoning its nuclear program. Blix listed the possibility of Israel abandoning its never-acknowledged, but general known nuclear program in exchange for a pledge to keep the Middle East free of nuclear weapons.
Iran is currently considering an international proposal to ship its uranium abroad for enrichment. Blix called it a good first step, but warned that Tehran hasn't promised to stop its own enrichment program at home if it agrees.
Blix traveled to Little Rock on Thursday to speak at the University of Arkansas' Clinton School of Public Service.
