Iran sees nuclear agreement with EU as possible

Iran’s newly-appointed chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani on Friday said agreement with the European Union over the country’s controversial nuclear programme was possible, but reiterated Iran’s right to enrich uranium in order to generate nuclear power.

Speaking in Vienna following talks with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Mohamed ElBaradei, Larijani said the differences between Iran and the E.U. over the nuclear issue were not as great as perceived.

“I don’t think the gap is as huge as you consider it,” Larijani insisted. “As you know, the Europeans have confirmed our right to nuclear development.”
