Iran on Saturday gave the West a one-month “ultimatum” to accept a uranium swap, warning that if there is no deal it will produce its own nuclear fuel for a Tehran reactor, state television reported.
“The international community has just one month left to decide” whether or not it will accept Iran’s conditions, otherwise “Tehran will enrich uranium to a higher level,” Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying.
“This is an ultimatum,” he said.
Iran, which rejected a December 31 deadline to accept a UN-brokered deal, said on Tuesday it is ready to swap abroad its low-enriched uranium for nuclear fuel, insisting however that the exchange should happen in stages. Zawya
