Twenty-percent enrichment not contradictory to fuel swap: spokesman
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Feb 9, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mihman-Parast said on Tuesday that Iran’s readiness for 20-percent enrichment is not in contradiction with the issue of fuel swap.
Talking to reports during his weekly press briefing, he stressed that almost all countries support Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities. He added that only certain states are exerting pressures on Tehran to cease its peaceful nuclear program.
Tehran considers any effort to deprive the Iranian nation from its legitimate rights and damage the process of the Islamic Republic’s peaceful nuclear program as incorrect, he reiterated.
Condemning the presence of foreign forces in the Persian Gulf region, Mihman-Parast said the regional tension stems from the presence of foreign countries, including the US, in regional states such as Iraq.
Asked about the process of Palestinians’ national reconciliation agreement, he said Tehran encourages the Palestinian nation to foster unity and solidarity in order to access to national reconciliation.
