Iran awaits brief response to nuclear option

Iran awaits swift response to nuclear offer


Iran expects a speedy response from world powers on an accord to ship a great deal of its reduced enriched uranium to Turkey as aspect of a nuclear energy swap option, the foreign ministry proclaimed on Tuesday.

Iran will notify the Worldwide Atomic Power Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, by means of the normal channels, inside of a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast stated.

"We expect to have members of the Vienna party (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to rapidly announce their readiness" to implement the energy swap, he told reporters.





The IAEA proclaimed it has obtained the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now ready for Tehran to notify it immediately of what commitments it had undertaken.

"We are now ready for prepared notification from Iran that it agrees with the relevant provisions enclosed in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor mentioned on Monday.

The so-termed Vienna Group produced an deliver final October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the country in return for bigger grade reactor energy to be supplied by Russia and France.

Iran stalled on the package insisting it wishes a simultaneous swap on its very own soil, which was rejected by globe powers.

Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (a couple of,640 pounds) of decreased enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for energy for a Tehran study reactor.

Mehmanparast explained if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the countries required in the preliminary IAEA-backed work, it "will pave the way for more nuclear cooperation."
