Iran-Nuclear-Asefi
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said here Sunday Iran has not resumed uranium enrichment yet.
Asefi made the remark while talking to domestic and foreign reporters at his weekly press conference.
"The question of using some centrifuges is different from enrichment. The issue is the research activities Iran has resumed.
This is different from uranium enrichment.
"Iran will continue its research work and will not suspend it in the face of pressures," he said.
Asked about the "Green Salt Project", he voiced Iran's readiness to hold talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to remove ambiguities, if any.
It is not a very sensitive and important issue, he said.
"If there is any ambiguity in this respect, Iran is ready to remove it within the framework of its cooperation with the IAEA." Asefi pointed to the upcoming visit to Iran of deputy chief of the IAEA and said Tehran is ready to cooperate with the agency and answer its experts' questions.
Turning to Iran's cooperation with the agency in the past and at present, he said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran gives priority to cooperation with the IAEA.
The spokesman added, "What Iran carries out at its nuclear facilities is not concealed from the IAEA and the agency is aware of Iran's activities."
