Iran Uranium Enrichment Program Goes On

Iran's National Security Council deputy said Wednesday that Iran would reject any proposal concerning its nuclear program which contains a demand that it suspend uranium enrichment.

Abdol-Reza Rahman-Fazli said that in line with this policy, Iran has also rejected the so-called "Swiss plan" that provided Iran with five veto powers of the UN Security Council halting UN sanctions against the Islamic state in return for suspending uranium enrichment. The security official said that Iran would only take into consideration proposals which do not include enrichment suspension.

The international community, including the UN Security Council, the European Union and the United States, demands that Iran should suspend its uranium enrichment program, in return for revising planned sanctions and resuming nuclear negotiations with Iran.

Rahman-Fazli added that renewed talks between Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani and European Union foreign and security policy chief Javier Solana were not scheduled yet.
