TEHRAN (ISNA)- Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali-Akbar Salehi said that Iran is cautious in selling heavy water to the United States, after the recent US court ruling on seizing two billion dollars of Iranians assets.
"At the moment we (Iran and the US) are in negotiations and we have to determine about the payment," said Salehi.
He also said that Iran discussed selling heavy water with Russia.
The US Supreme Court decided on 20 April on sampling two billion dollars on Iranian assets frozen in the United States, to pay compensation to the families of victims of an attack in 1983 in US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut falsely attributed to Iran.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the decision of the US Supreme Court a dishonor to American justice. "This is a totally illegal action and contrary to international rules. This is a violation and open hostility by the United States against the Iranian people, "he said.
