Iran-Mottaki-Enrichment
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said here Saturday that Iran's will to enrich uranium inside the country is not in conflict with its cooperation with other countries in the field.
Mottaki made the remark while replying to a question about Iran-Russia joint enrichment, at a joint press conference with the Head of Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)and Secretary of Fatah Central Committee Farouk Qaddoumi after meeting him.
The minister said that the idea of nuclear consortium and Russia's proposal for enrichment of uranium in its own territory are on the agenda.
Concerning the impact of extension of the US financial sanctions against Iran's economy, he said, "For more than 20 years, the US has been playing a game every year to extend anti-Iran sanctions.
"Sanctions imposed by the countries with higher economic capacities are considered as political pressure, but over the past years, Iran has proved that it disregards US sanctions."
