We are in the process of negotiating on the modalities of this participation.

We had a good chance, a good opportunity to continue our discussion.

If they make this historic mistake, there will be no way to continue with the Russian proposal.

The Russian proposal is based on the establishment of a joint Iran-Russia company on Russian soil for enrichment of uranium…it can be studied, so that its economic, technical and scientific aspects will be clear.

We have told the (International Atomic Energy) Agency that we are going to inject new initial materials (uranium ore) into the production chain.

The new Russian proposal can be studied so that its economic, technical and scientific aspects will be clear.

In Iran’s opinion the Russian proposal can lead to the extension of a peaceful use of nuclear knowledge. The Russian project can break the existing scientific monopoly on nuclear technology.

An important factor will be the amount of Iranian share in the project.

Iran’s right on nuclear fuel, especially enrichment, inside the country has to be guaranteed in any proposal.

Russia’s proposal is to set up a joint Iranian-Russian company to enrich uranium in Russian territory.

We will continue to exercise our R and D activities based on our right.

We are here to find a compromise, which means we have to calm things down.

In the context of our large-scale enrichment activities, we have to clear up some details and consider the proposal.

Our government has to implement full-scale enrichment.

The Iranian government must now bring into force our law to suspend voluntary cooperation.

We will not use the oil weapon now because we don’t want to confront other countries.

The move was politically motivated and followed other aims (than the nuclear dispute).

But if the situation changes, we will have to review our oil policies.
