Iran left with no choice but to produce 20% enriched fuel
TEHRAN, Feb. 1 (MNA) – A former lawmaker stated here on Sunday that the West has left Iran with no alternative but to enrich uranium to 20 percent level needed for its medicine reactor.
“To provide the research reactor with fuel, Tehran has no way but to enrich uranium,” Hamidreza Taraqi told the Mehr News Agency on Sunday.
The deadline Iran set for the West to provide it with 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel was an opportunity that Westerners could have utilized to show their goodwill and become Iran’s partners in its peaceful nuclear energy drive, he noted.
The West’s failure to meet the deadline to provide Iran with the nuclear fuel shows that the West lacks goodwill and is seeking to deceive and pressure the Islamic Republic, Taraqi, a senior member of Iran’s Islamic Coalition Party and added.
The former lawmaker predicted that the Western countries will put great pressure on Iran not to enrich uranium to the 20 percent degree needed to operate the Tehran nuclear research reactor but they will eventually have to accept it.
He said the West’s sanctions against the country are no longer effective and the West’s pressure and military threats will not affect Tehran’s decision to produce the nuclear fuel.
