Iran agrees with EU on nuclear program

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Nov 15, IRNA -- Iran submitted a letter to the International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on its agreement with the European Union 
(EU) in regards to its nuclear program. 
Iran`s representative to the IAEA Pirouz Hosseini told IRNA here 
Sunday night that Iran has reached consensus with the EU big trio, 
Britain, France and Germany. 
"The Islamic Republic in the letter announced its agreement with 
the halt of uranium enrichment as a confidence-building measure," he 
said. 
Iran and the EU reached an agreement on uranium enrichment after 
holding several rounds of explicit talks in Vienna, Paris and Tehran. 
An Iranian diplomat here Sunday night confirmed reaching the 
agreement and said, "The consensus embraces viewpoints and 
considerations of both Iran and the international community." 
A Western diplomat previously told IRNA in Vienna that Iran had 
agreed to suspend uranium enrichment to build confidence and obtain 
concessions proposed by the European Union. 
Iran has previously insisted on completion of its nuclear fuel 
cycle and uranium enrichment based on the nuclear Non-Proliferation 
Treaty (NPT) as its right, stressing the country would not ignore such
a right. 
Iran also declared that it only accepts uranium enrichment 
suspension voluntarily and for a short period of time as a 
confidence-building measure.
