Iran: No Change in Stance after Geneva Talks
[DPA/Khaleej Times-UAE] There has been no change in the Iranian nuclear stance, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Ghashghavi said on Monday. "We have not raised anything about our right to pursue peaceful nuclear technology in the Geneva talks." He said agreements reached on inspecting the new uranium enrichment plant on Oct. 25, and a meeting in Vienna on Oct. 19 on enriched uranium exchange were coordinated solely with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Iran has painted the results of the Geneva talks and the visit by IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei to Tehran as Western acknowledgement of its right to pursue civil nuclear technology, including enrichment.
