Iran: Russian plan unacceptable in present form

Iran reiterated Friday that a plan to allow Iran to enrich its uranium in Russia was not acceptable in its present form but was worth pursuing in negotiations.

"The capacity of Russia's proposal does not meet all the nuclear energy needs of Iran," Irans top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said Friday, according to state television.

Larijani was speaking to reporters on his return to Tehran from a trip to China, where he tried to mobilize support against Western moves to refer Iran's nuclear file to the U.N. Security Council, which could impose sanctions.

"It is not possible to say the Russian proposal is negative, and that is why we consider it as a basis for negotiations," the official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Larijani as saying.

Iran provoked an international outcry on Jan. 10 when it cut seals of the International Atomic Energy Agency at its main enrichment plant and resumed small-scale enrichment of uranium — a process that can be used to produce fuel for generating electricity or material for atomic bombs.

The three major European powers, with U.S. support, succeeded in getting the IAEA to meet on Feb. 2 to discuss taking action against Iran, which is expected to result in referral to the Security Council.

In the meantime Russia has revived a proposal under which Iran would ship its uranium to Russia, where it would be enriched and then returned to Iran for use in its nuclear reactor.

Iran's first reactor, built by Russia, is due to begin operations later this year.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced plans late last year for at least two more reactors, and Iran's parliament has asked him for the construction of 20 nuclear power plants.

After a visit to Russia earlier this week, Larijani said the Russian plan "has some ambiguities that should be removed," and that it would be discussed in talks in Moscow in February.

"The Russian offer is alive and will have long life," Larijani said on Wednesday, according to IRNA.

The Bush administration has expressed support for the Russian proposal.

"I think that is a good plan," President Bush said Thursday. "The Russians came up with the idea, and I support it.

The United States accuses Iran of trying to develop atomic bombs under the cover of a peaceful nuclear program. Iran denies this, saying its program is entirely devoted to generating electricity.
