Mottaki: Two options to supply fuel for Tehran research reactor
– The Iranian foreign minister said Iran might buy fuel for a research nuclear reactor in Tehran or hand over part of uranium it does not need for the time being.
During a visit to the 16th Press and Media Exhibition in Tehran, Manouchehr Mottaki told IRNA that Iran will adopt one of these two options within next few days.
He added that Iran’s legal and peaceful nuclear activities will continue in the future and it has nothing to do with supplying fuel to the Tehran reactor.
Comparing the present situation with that of a few years ago, Mottaki said they offered Iran in 2003 to stop any enrichment activity whereas Iran is now following its enrichment along with discussing how to receive fuel for its research reactor.
Reaffirming the need to safeguard the country’s interests within well-established principles, Mottaki said in the recent talks with the UN nuclear agency in Vienna about fuel supply, a number of drafts were prepared which are now being studied by Iran and the country’s clear stance in this respect will be announced later.
