BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama is still waiting to hear from the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, about Iran's response to a uranium enrichment proposal, the White House said on Friday

"The president, just like everyone else, is waiting to hear from (IAEA Director General Mohamed) ElBaradei on what the final word is," said White House deputy spokesman Bill Burton. "The word is that ElBaradei has not received official word yet, so we're waiting until that happens."
