IRAN REJECTS PROPOSALS OF IAEA AND G8

Iran rejected IAEA's proposal on sending enriched uranium abroad for further procession. Deputy Foreign Ministers of Russia, US, Great Britain, China, Germany and France met Friday in Burssels to discuss Iran’s Nuclear Program. Diplomats expressed disappointment with the absence of any visible progress towards resolving the problem. «Iran turned down IAEA's proposals on exporting 70% of low-enriched uranium to other states where it would be turned into fuel for a Tehran medical research reactor,» said Robert Cooper, Assistant to High Representative of the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana. This was followed by IAEA Chair Mohammed El-Baradei's proposal on delivering uranium to a third country, particularly Turkey, with which Iran maintains friendly ties. Later, however, Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki confirmed Tehran's positive attitude to IAEA's initiative on fueling Tehran's reactor, on condition of exchanging uranium on Iranian territory, AFP reports.
