Iran-Nuclear-Enrichment-FM
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini here on Monday stressed that Tehran will welcome and consider any plan securing its nuclear and enrichment rights.
Addressing foreign and domestic reporters during his weekly press briefing, he referred to Russia-Saudi Arabia plan and added that the proposal by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to establish a joint international consortium is still effective.
Meanwhile, Deputy Secretary of Supreme National Security Council for International Security Affairs Javad Vaeedi told reporters on Saturday that Tehran welcomes any contribution to its nuclear enrichment projects in other countries but no condition demanding suspension of enrichment is acceptable.
As to Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal's proposal on formation of an enrichment consortium in an impartial country, Vaeedi said, "As long as we are fulfilling our international duties and assignments, it will be natural for us to call for observation of our rights."
He added that such ideas can be raised if they honor Iran's rights.
He noted that Iran had already submitted a plan for formation of a joint consortium for enrichment in its own territory.
