The Islamic Republic of Iran would never accept any suspension of uranium
enrichment activities, a top Iranian nuclear official told local Fars news
agency on Wednesday.
"We will not accept any climb down, and we are not going to accept any
suspension," Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, deputy to chief nuclear negotiator Ali
Larijani, was quoted as saying in an interview.
"The Western powers demanded us to suspend (uranium enrichment) for one month
or two weeks, but this will not resolve anything," headded.
Rahmani Fazli's comments once again ruled out the rumor from Western media
that Iran had almost been close to agreeing on a secret deal to suspend its
enrichment activities for 90 days, in order for more talks with European
countries.
