Iran awaits quick response to nuclear deal

Iran awaits fast response to nuclear option

Iran expects a rapid response from planet powers on an accord to ship a great deal of its minimal enriched uranium to Turkey as aspect of a nuclear fuel swap cope, the foreign ministry claimed on Tuesday.

Iran will notify the Global Atomic Power Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, by way of the typical channels, inside of a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast claimed.

"We anticipate members of the Vienna team (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to rapidly announce their readiness" to implement the fuel swap, he told reporters.

The IAEA said it has obtained the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now expecting Tehran to notify it immediately of what commitments it had undertaken.

"We are now ready for written notification from Iran that it agrees with the pertinent provisions enclosed in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor said on Monday.

The so-labeled Vienna Group made an deliver final October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the land in return for greater grade reactor energy to be supplied by Russia and France.

Iran stalled on the offer insisting it desires a simultaneous swap on its individual soil, which was rejected by planet powers.

Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (2,640 pounds) of low enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for fuel for a Tehran investigating reactor.

Mehmanparast stated if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the countries involved in the first IAEA-backed work, it "will pave the way for far more nuclear cooperation."
