Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday he was studying an Iranian fuel swap deal brokered by Brazil and Turkey but that questions remained, including whether Iran intends to continue enriching uranium."One question is: will Iran itself enrich uranium? As far as I understand from officials of that state, such work will be continued. In this case, of course, those concerns that the international community had before could remain," Medvedev said.Iran agreed with Brazil and Turkey on Monday that it would send some of its uranium abroad, abruptly ending its refusal to countenance such a deal just as the U.N. Security Council readied tougher sanctions."The question arises -- is the level of this swap operation sufficient? Will all members of the international community be satisfied? I don't know," Medvedev said. "We need to see what follows this declaration."Medvedev said consultations were needed with Iran and all major powers involved in the negotiations about the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme."After this, we need to decide what to do: Are those proposals sufficient or is something else needed? So I think a small pause on this problem would not do any harm," he said.He said he would speak later in the day to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to discuss the issue.(Reporting by Denis Dyomkin, writing by Guy Faulconbridge, editing by Dmitry Zhdannikov and Conor Humphries)
