President Rouhani has promised a new plan on the nuclear dispute this week |
(VOVworld) - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said prior to the nuclear talks on October 15 with the P5+1 in Geneva that Tehran does not agree to ship out its stockpile of enriched uranium or stop its uranium enrichment activities as the West demands. According to Araqchi, Tehran will negotiate the volume, level and methods of enrichment, but shipping out enriched material is a red line for Iran. He said Tehran is pursuing nuclear energy in accordance with international law and repeated Iran’s intention to participate in nuclear talks. Iran insists that its nuclear program is only for non-military purposes, but the West continues to suspect Iran of pursuing nuclear energy under the guise of a civilian energy program.
