Europe will not compromise on Iran`s demand: say diplomats

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Nov 27, IRNA -- The IAEA diplomats said here Sunday that 
the Europeans will not compromise on Iran`s demand and urged Tehran to
halt its nuclear activities including the 20 disputed centrifuges. 
The British Secretary of State Jack Straw and Iran`s top nuclear 
official Hassan Rowhani are negotiating the issue, according to the 
diplomats with the UN nuclear watchdog. 
A tough resolution would be on the table of the IAEA meeting if 
Iran keeps refusing to freeze all its nuclear activities related to 
uranium enrichment, a western diplomat told IRNA. 
According to the deal made on Friday by the EU trio and Iran, 
Iran had accepted to freeze the (20) centrifuges used for uranium 
enrichment, the diplomat added. 
The centrifuges, based on the deal between Iran and the IAEA, 
were not sealed by the nuclear agency but were controlled by special 
cameras, the diplomat said. 
The IAEA meeting in Vienna was adjourned due to disagreements 
until Monday. 
The diplomat stressed that Iran should take the opportunity 
resulting from the postponement of the meeting to officially 
announce the freezing of its nuclear activities namely the 20 
centrifuges. 
Meanwhile, nuclear negotiations between Iran and the EU troika, 
France, Britain and Germany are going on. 
Spokeswoman for the IAEA Melissa Fleming here on Sunday refuted 
news that Iran-Europe talks had been halted, saying the talks are 
still continuing. 
Talking to IRNA, she termed reports by certain western media to 
this effect as unreal.
