IRANIAN MPS REJECT UN PROPOSAL

Senior Iranian lawmakers rejected any possibility of Tehran shipping uranium abroad for further enrichment, intensifying pressures on the government to reject the UN-backed plan altogether. Prominent lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi said Iran won’t ship its low-enriched uranium abroad in a single batch or in several shipments, a compromise suggested by some government officials, under any circumstances. “Nothing will be given of the 1,200 kilograms (of low-enriched uranium) … to the other side in exchange for 20 percent enriched fuel, not in one batch or in several. It is out of question,” Boroujerdi said.
