Visiting former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder backed the establishment of an international nuclear consortium in Iran, local satellite Press TV reported on Sunday. Schroeder “has welcomed the prospects of an internationally-run nuclear enrichment plant in Iran,” Press TV said. “Iran’s offer to form a nuclear consortium is acceptable and should be followed up,” Schroeder said in a meeting on Saturday with Iranian Majlis (parliament) Speaker Ali Larijani in Tehran.
