Iran threatens to resume uranium enrichment program
Iran has threatened to resume uranium enrichment and revise its agreement to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) if the nuclear dispute is not resolved in line with last Octoberâs agreement, the Mehr news service reported on Sunday. âIran will not wait forever to restore its legitimate national right to pursue peaceful nuclear activities,â an unnamed member of the Iranian delegation at the IAEA headquarters in Vienna told Mehr. âWe would not only revise cooperation but also keep the option open to restart uranium enrichment if the IAEA and the Europeans did not fulfill their commitments in line with the October declaration and still continued their double-standard policies toward Iran,â the diplomat added. According to Mehr, continuing accusations against Iran, despite its cooperation with IAEA inspectors, has irked the Iranian delegation, which has accused the United Nations nuclear agency of dealing with Iran in an âillogical mannerâ.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-03-07 |
