| Iran has no intention to halt 20% enrichment: Jalili |
| 2012-04-16 |
| The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Saeed Jalili, has said that Tehran does not intend to stop producing uranium enriched to a purity level of 20 percent, Tehran Times reported. Jalili, who is Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, made the remarks during a press conference in Istanbul on Saturday after two rounds of talks between representatives of Iran and the 5+1 group (the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany), which ended a 15-month hiatus in talks. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton represented the 5+1 group in the nuclear negotiations and Jalili headed the Iranian delegation. The two sides agreed to meet again in Baghdad on May 23, and Helga Schmid, the deputy secretary general for political affairs of the European External Action Service, and Ali Baqeri, the deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, were tasked with drawing up an agenda for the Baghdad talks. According to Reuters, Jalili made it clear at the press conference that Iran has no intention to halt operations at its plants that enrich uranium to contain 20 percent fissile material. Referring to Iran's rights, which have been stipulated in the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Jalili said, "Enrichment of uranium is one of these rights that every individual member state should benefit from and enjoy for peaceful purposes." |
