Iran responded to MAGATE's proposal
Iranian state media report that the country's government has responded to MAGATE's uranium enrichment proposal.
Response was delivered to MAGATE Headquarters in Vienna. Details about its contents are not published for now.
In the meantime, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced the country would not withdraw its nuclear program, but was ready to cooperate with Western states.
Under MAGATE's proposal, Tehran will ship its low enriched uranium to another state for further retrocession. Enriched uranium will then be sent back to Iran for being used in nuclear research reactors. This will rule out possibility country's being independent in obtaining highly enriched uranium which can be used nuclear weapon production.
Thursday morning, a group of MAGATE inspectors returned from Iran. They had visited the uranium enrichment plant whose construction was earlier kept secret. Upon arriving in Vienna, Head of delegation said it was a "good trip", however he refrained from disclosing further details.
