IRI will not accept limited enrichment
Tehran, May 30 - Iran will not accept limited uranium enrichment, Foreign
Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said here Tuesday.
Addressing domestic and foreign reporters at a press conference, Asefi said
news of Iran's acceptance of limited enrichment was not factual.
Asked about Iran's alleged acceptance of a five percent ceiling on
enrichment, he said: "This percentage relates to fuel supply."
"Iran has a transparent and precise stance in this regard. The percentage we
demand for enrichment is not an issue," Asefi said.
On the issue of fuel supply for Iran's power plants, he said it was for
Tehran to act on this.
He said: "We act based on our rights and will never give them up for aslong
as we know we are acting within the framework of the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA)."
Asefi added: "Further issues should be settled during future talks with the
IAEA."
Pointing to the calls of many states for talks between Iran and the European
states to be continued, he reminded that "Negotiations will be the only
solution to Iran's nuclear case," and added that Iran had not yet received
Europe's proposal.
The Spokesman reminded that use of threats or harsh words and misuse of
international institutions were not correct.
He urged constructive and transparent talks to solve the current nuclear
dispute.
"We have always announced we will not accept anything beyond our
responsibilities within the NPT. We will not accept suspension of research,"
he added.
Asked about remarks made recently by IAEA Chief Mohamed Elbaradei that Iran
had accepted suspension of enrichment for a limited duration, Asefi added:
"We insist on our rights. Completion of the fuel cycle and enrichment are
among our rights."
A package of incentives for Iran is currently being discussed by
representatives of the UN Security Council's five permanent members plus
Germany (5+1 group).
The incentives include light water reactors and guarantees of nuclear fuel
in exchange Iran stopping its nuclear activities.
Asefi said Ivanov and senior Iranian nuclear officials had discussed avenues
for returning Iran's nuclear case to the IAEA.
Asked whether Iran had indeed slowed down its nuclear activities to win the
satisfaction of Western states, the spokesman said: "Such reports are doubts
of the media."
Asefi said the disinformation being spread by the Western media is
discontenting.
