IRAN WILL PRESENT THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY (IAEA) WITHIN THE NEXT THREE WEEKS A NEW PLAN FOR SETTLING THE NUCLEAR DISPUTE, THE DEPUTY OF IRAN'S ATOMIC ENERGY ORGANIZATION SAID SATURDAY. MOHAMMAD SAEIDI SAID IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE NEWS NETWORK "KHABAR" THAT THE MAIN CONDITION FOR STARTING THE NEW PLAN WOULD HOWEVER BE MAINTAINING THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR CASE WITHIN THE IAEA AND NOT THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL. SAEIDI SAID THAT WITHIN THE PLAN, IRAN WOULD ALSO RESUME VOLUNTARY IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IAEA ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL AND RENEWED SNAP IAEA INSPECTIONS OF IRAN'S NUCLEAR SITES BUT CONTINUE NUCLEAR ENRICHMENT FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES. SAEIDI HAD SAID ON FRIDAY NIGHT THAT THE EIGHT-PAGE REPORT FROM IAEA CHIEF MOHAMED ELBARADEI CONTAINED "NO NEGATIVE ASPECTS" AND ONCE AGAIN SHOWED THAT THE IAEA STILL HAD THE POTENTIAL TO DEAL WITH THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR CASE AND THAT INVOLVEMENT OF THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL WAS THE "TOTALLY WRONG WAY." THE IRANIAN OFFICIAL CLAIMED THAT ELBARADEI WOULD ALSO WELCOME THE IRANIAN CASE BEING EVALUATED WITHIN THE IAEA AND NOT THE SECURITY COUNCIL, according to a report of the German news agency "DPA."
