Iran awaits swift response to nuclear package

Iran awaits fast response to nuclear deal


Iran expects a rapid response from world powers on an accord to ship a lot of its reduced enriched uranium to Turkey as aspect of a nuclear energy swap deal, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

Iran will notify the Worldwide Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, by way of the typical channels, within a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast mentioned.

"We be expecting members of the Vienna team (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to rapidly announce their readiness" to implement the energy swap, he told reporters.





The IAEA proclaimed it has obtained the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now ready for Tehran to notify it immediately of what commitments it had undertaken.

"We are now ready for prepared notification from Iran that it agrees with the appropriate provisions bundled in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor proclaimed on Monday.

The so-called Vienna Group produced an present final October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the region in return for greater grade reactor energy to be supplied by Russia and France.

Iran stalled on the work insisting it wants a simultaneous swap on its personal soil, which was rejected by country powers.

Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (2,640 pounds) of minimal enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for energy for a Tehran exploration reactor.

Mehmanparast stated if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the countries required in the first IAEA-backed package, it "will pave the way for additional nuclear cooperation."
