Iran awaits brief response to nuclear offer
Iran expects a rapid response from country powers on an accord to ship a great deal of its low enriched uranium to Turkey as element of a nuclear fuel swap offer, the foreign ministry explained on Tuesday.
Iran will notify the Global Atomic Power Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, via the normal channels, inside a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast mentioned.
"We hope members of the Vienna group (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to instantly announce their readiness" to put into action the fuel swap, he told reporters.
The IAEA claimed it has acquired the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now expecting Tehran to notify it immediately of what commitments it had undertaken.
"We are now expecting written notification from Iran that it agrees with the relevant provisions incorporated in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor stated on Monday.
The so-named Vienna Party built an offer final October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the region in return for greater grade reactor energy to be supplied by Russia and France.
Iran stalled on the deal insisting it wants a simultaneous swap on its own personal soil, which was rejected by earth powers.
Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (two,640 pounds) of reduced enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for energy for a Tehran exploration reactor.
Mehmanparast stated if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the nations needed in the first IAEA-backed work, it "will pave the way for far more nuclear cooperation."
