QUESTION: Hi, Ian. Do you have any update on the discussions about Iran potentially sending its uranium to Turkey as an alternative to Russia, or what the U.S. is pushing for at this point? And also, can you update us on the meeting that was supposed to take place at the end of October between the U.S. and the Iranian side as a follow-up to the early October meeting that never did take place? Has that been rescheduled? Can you give us a full update?

MR. KELLY: Well, I - first of all, we are still waiting for a formal response to the IAEA. I think you've seen Director General ElBaradei's comments that he still hasn't received an official reply.

We continue to believe that this is a good agreement. It has the support of the international community. It answers a lot of the needs of the international community in terms of increasing our confidence that the Iranians are pursuing what they say they're pursuing, which is a civil nuclear energy program. But it also meets the stated needs of the Iranian people, their humanitarian and medical needs.

So we, of course, stay in close contact with the IAEA. As far as any details on how this reprocessing will take place, I'd really have to refer you to the IAEA. We - as I said, we support the proposal. And we think that -

QUESTION: Meaning you support the proposal of sending it either to Russia or Turkey or whatever?

MR. KELLY: We support the proposal as the IAEA has presented it. And as I say, we're still waiting for a formal reply to it. We're also consulting very closely with our P-5+1 colleagues. And of course, we're - we hope that Iran will make the next - make the right choice and accept the proposal. But we will consult on next steps if Iran ultimately decides to not take this opportunity.

QUESTION: Is there a deadline for a response?

MR. KELLY: Well, we're not putting any kind of formal deadline on it, but I think you've heard the Secretary say that our patience is not infinite.

Any other on Iran?
