Iran will continue its nuclear fuel activities despite strong
international call to halt the controversial program, chief nuclear negotiator
Ali Larijani said on Sunday.
"Producing nuclear fuel is Iran's strategic goal," Larijani told Iranian
media.
He said Iran will not yield to external pressures to give up the nuclear
project.
Iran maintains that its nuclear program is aimed at generating power, but the
U.S. and some European allies fear that Tehran could veer to the production of
atomic bombs.
The U.N. Security Council asks Iran to halt its uranium enrichment activity
by August 31, or face possible sanctions.
