VIENNA – The EU and Russia urged Iran yesterday to comply with the UN nuclear watchdog’s demand that it suspend all activities connected with uranium enrichment, a process that can be used to develop atomic weapons.
“The EU… calls on Iran to heed the content of the resolution adopted by last week’s (IAEA) board of governors, in particular with regard to the necessity to suspend fully all its enrichment related activities,” the head of the Dutch delegation told a meeting of members of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on behalf of the EU. On Sunday, Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Hassan Rohani said that Tehran rejected as illegal the demand in the IAEA resolution, which was sponsored by France, Britain and Germany.Enrichment is permitted under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).- Nampa-ReutersOn Sunday, Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Hassan Rohani said that Tehran rejected as illegal the demand in the IAEA resolution, which was sponsored by France, Britain and Germany.Enrichment is permitted under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).- Nampa-Reuters
