Quds, October 24 -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Iran must agree to stop all uranium enrichment in any deal with world powers, Reuters reported. The U.N. nuclear watchdog and world powers headed by the United States are trying to reduce Tehran"s stockpile of enriched uranium in return for supplying a medical reactor. They hope the deal will build trust on the way to persuading Iran to give up uranium enrichment, which they fear is part of an atomic weapons programme, even though Iran says the uranium will only fuel power stations. "The crucial thing is that the international community pressure Iran to stop the enrichment of uranium," Netanyahu told the Washington Post in an interview published on Saturday. "The purpose of enrichment is the development of nuclear weapons capability, so any solution has to be accompanied by the cessation of enrichment," he said. -- SPA
