MP: Iran's 2-month deadline for fuel supply is logical
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Jan 5, IRNA -- An Iranian lawmaker said on Tuesday that the deadline set for the west to supply fuel for Tehran Research Reactor is logical and justified.
“Westerners move in line with time killing so that Iran will not eventually be able to have necessary options for fuel supply for Tehran reactor. So, the deadline Iran has set for the purpose is logical,” said Kazem Jalali, the spokesman of Majlis Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy in an interview with reporters.
Commenting on Iran’s two-month deadline for fuel supply by the west, Jalali said the issue shows that if westerners are to sell fuel to Iran, “we are ready to buy and if they do not wish to provide fuel for Iran’s reactor, we will look after our own so as to address needs of the patients.”
He said contrary to Iran, westerners raise totally minor issues such as Tehran research reactor in the media to meet their own goals.
There are only two alternatives for supplying fuel to Tehran reactor: Westerners should either sell it to Iran or let Tehran meet its need by using due technology, he added.
Iran has demanded the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency make arrangements to supply fuel for Tehran medical research reactor.
