Head of Iran's Atomic Energy Association Fereidoon Abbasi said that the country needs to continue enriching uranium to 20 percent, IRIB News reported. Abbasi said enriching uranium to 20 percent for the Tehran reactor is Iran's right, which will be defended."Twenty percent enrichment may not be something the Westerners agree with, however this is the right of Iranian people," he said.
Abbasi added, that according to the report of IAEA's Board of Governors, the agency's stance towards Iran has not changed.
Several days ago, member of Iranian parliament's national security committee, Nozar Shafie said that Iran can exit the NPT, if the pressure on country continues to intensify.
