U.S. Official: No Country Has a Right of Enrichment
(U.S. Mission in Geneva) In a background briefing on Wednesday in Geneva, a senior U.S. official said: "About the right to enrich. Iran has for a long time said that they believe they have an inalienable right to enrichment. The United States has said for an equally long time that we do not believe any country - not just Iran - has a right to enrichment. Article IV of the NPT, the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, is silent on the issue. It neither confers a right nor denies a right. So we don't believe it is inherently there."
