Iran to suspend all enrichment activities as long as talks with EU continue: Mousavian

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Nov 29, IRNA -- The spokesman of the Iranian delegation to the
IAEA Board of Governors here on Monday afternoon said Iran and Europe 
reached an agreement that Tehran would suspend all its enrichment 
activities as long as negotiations with the Europe continue. 
Talking to reporters before the start of this afternoon session of
the board, he predicted that Iran`s case would be taken out of the 
board`s agenda and that the IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei 
would present his report on Iran`s activities as appropriate. 
On the issue of centrifuges, he said Tehran will not conduct any 
testing of these sets of components. 
"Iran will put the activities of its centrifuges under monitor of 
the agency while we continue our negotiations with the Europeans on 
the issue," Mousavian added. 
On reaction of the Americans regarding the resolution, he said he 
guessed that the Americans would not be happy with the resolution. 
He stressed that paragraph one of the resolution stresses that the
suspension is a voluntary, non-legally-binding and confidence building
measure.
