Iran Rejects Nuclear Fuel Compromise
 Iran insisted yesterday it would carry out all nuclear fuel work at home, rejecting a proposal to outsource sensitive production abroad that aimed to avert an escalation of tensions on Tehranâs atomic program. Igor Ivanov, head of Russiaâs Security Council, was in Tehran with what was thought to be an offer under which Russia might conduct sensitive nuclear fuel work on Iranâs behalf. âIranian nuclear fuel will be produced in Iran itself,â Iranâs Atomic Energy Organization head Gholamreza Aghazadeh said after a meeting with Ivanov. âWhat is important is that the enrichment (of uranium) takes place in Iran,â he said.Posted by: Fred 2005-11-13 |
