Iran wants the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to
establish a committee to review a UN-drafted deal aimed at easing
international tension over Tehran's atomic activities, its foreign
minister said.
Under a US-backed plan, Iran would send most of its low-enriched
uranium (LEU) abroad for further processing to turn it into more
refined fuel for a Tehran research reactor.
The plan aims to reduce Iran's LEU stockpile in order to prevent
the material from being turned into highly enriched uranium needed
for a nuclear bomb.
"Two days ago, we passed our views and observations to the IAEA, so
it is very much possible to establish a technical commission to
review and reconsider all these issues," Manouchehr Mottaki told
reporters at a meeting of foreign ministers from eight developing
countries.
Mottaki, speaking through a translator, said Iran would continue
enrichment for its nuclear needs.
