Iran awaits swift response to nuclear deal

Iran awaits quick response to nuclear option

Iran expects a rapid response from globe powers on an accord to ship a great deal of its minimal enriched uranium to Turkey as component of a nuclear energy swap offer, the foreign ministry claimed on Tuesday.

Iran will notify the Global Atomic Vitality Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, via the standard channels, inside of a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast proclaimed.

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

The IAEA stated 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 applicable provisions incorporated in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor stated on Monday.

The so-called Vienna Party designed an offer last October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the nation in return for greater grade reactor fuel to be supplied by Russia and France.

Iran stalled on the option insisting it wants a simultaneous swap on its very own soil, which was rejected by globe powers.

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

Mehmanparast explained if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the countries included in the preliminary IAEA-backed offer, it "will pave the way for more nuclear cooperation."
