    IRAN REFUSES FROM IAEA'S PROPOSAL

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Tehran rejected the proposed UN plan on sending
    the Iranian enriched uranium abroad for further processing, Iranian
    Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said.

    According to him, the government is considering the possibility of
    exchanging uranium for fuel in Iran, the Iranian agency ISNA reports.

    According to the U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly, the U.S.

    are still waiting for Tehran's formal response to the IAEA's proposal.

    Statements of Mottaki, according to him, do not "give us confidence"
    that Iran would accept the offer.

    In October, the IAEA submitted a draft plan under which more than 70
    percent of low-enriched uranium will be sent from Iran to Russia and
    France, where it will be processed into fuel for the medical research
    reactor in Tehran. The plan is aimed at weakening international
    concerns over Iran's nuclear program, which, as the West believes,
    will be directed to production of nuclear weapons. Tehran insists
    that its nuclear program has exclusively peaceful character.
