Exchange on Iran’s territory means ‘concrete assurance’
TEHRAN, May 12 (MNA) – Talking in a regular press briefing, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said, “Concrete assurance” means that the nuclear fuel swap should be carried out on the Iranian territory.
“We have announced that the location for carrying out the nuclear fuel swap should be in Iran so that Iran is provided with a concrete assurance,” Mehmanparast said on Tuesday.
Mehmanparast also said Brazil and Turkey have presented a new proposal based on which it is possible to reach an agreement on nuclear fuel exchange.
According to reports, Brazil and Turkey have drawn up a joint proposal for a nuclear fuel swap.
Iran had previously announced that fuel swap is feasible based on the Brazil-Turkey proposal.
The issue of supplying the Tehran research reactor with nuclear fuel has become a source of contention between Iran and the West.
Iran has repeatedly said it is ready to swap its low-enriched uranium for high-grade uranium on its territory to supply the Tehran research reactor, which produces radioisotopes for cancer patients.
