Bush "I'm disappointed that the leaders rejected this generous offer out of hand."
( Russia sold the reactor within international accords. Iran exceeded minimum standards of care. The tech is not suitable for nuclear proliferation. Iran desperately needs power generation. The U.S. has kept replacement oilfield equipment from them, exacerbating the situation. Even access to Iranian banking deposits have been interfered with.
Russia and the neighbours stand with Iranian access to fuel ; Russia even warning against attack and offering to provide the fuel already enriched.
Conceding everything including that which is unacceptable because of circumstances [ which the U.S. caused ] as an a priori condition of discussions is George's idea of a 'generous offer'. Then again, I do think he has his personal standards of 'humor' to keep. That must be why the recent NIE debunking Iranian nuclear weapons activities generates so much ongoing consideration.
