Iran is still studying UN nuclear fuel deal, says lawmaker
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 07 - 11 - 2009


A prominent lawmaker denied reports Saturday of an
Iranian decision to turn down a UN-drafted deal on provision of
nuclear fuel for a research reactor, saying his country is still
studying the case, the Fars news agency reported, , according to dpa.
"Studies are underway to see what kind of solution could be
helpful on the provision of fuel for the (Tehran) reactor," Alaeddin
Boroujerdi, head of the parliament"s foreign policy and national
security committee, said, according to Fars.
The deal, which was proposed in talks with France, Russia and the
United States, requires Iran to ship its low-enriched uranium abroad
for further processing into fuel to be used in a medical-purpose
nuclear reactor in Tehran under constant monitoring by the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
"The final decision would be made after the talks between our
ambassador to the IAEA, Mr (Ali Asghar) Soltanieh, and the other
sides at the agency," Boroujerdi said.
Iran has not formally rejected the plan, as the country"s Supreme
National Security Council, the top security decision-making body, is
examining the proposed deal. But Tehran officially asked for more
talks because of technical and economic questions.
IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei said Thursday that Iran wants to
directly exchange its enriched uranium for nuclear fuel, instead of
shipping out the uranium and waiting for a year while it is processed
in Russia and France into fuel.
However, the United States does not favour such a swap, ElBaradei
told broadcaster CNN, because Washington sees this 12-months period
as an opportunity for talks with Iran.
