Iran Vows To Push On With Nuclear Fuel Programme

The Independent – Buoyed by the success of its proxy militia in Lebanon, Iran has rejected a demand from the West, aimed at curbing Tehran’s suspected nuclear weapons programme, setting itself on a new course of confrontation.

On the eve of a self-imposed deadline for responding to a Western offer of economic and technology incentives in return for a suspension of uranium enrichment by Iran, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said yesterday: “We won’t suspend.”

“Everything should come out of negotiations but suspension of uranium enrichment is not on our agenda,” Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters in Tehran.
