Iran into Some Options

First of all, please forgive the pun. I am the Punctuator, after all.

The prospects of global nuclear war have inched downward over the past few days due to a new incentives package offered to Iran by the United States, the United Kingdom, China, France, Russia, and Germany. Essentially, the negotiating nations will provide Iran with a small nuclear reactor if all of the country’s controversial uranium enrichment projects cease. The likelihood of Iran immediately accepting the end of all such projects is questionable, but, at the very least, Iranian officials are responding favorably to this most recent development in an ongoing push to end the possibility of Iran as a nuclear power.

Though certain parties describe the United Nations proceedings as impolite (see the article linked above), present efforts are certainly an improvement over the negotiations of the past. As such, the NWI has been modified by -0.01.
