Iran awaits swift response to nuclear offer

Iran expects a rapid response from planet powers on an accord to ship significantly of its lower enriched uranium to Turkey as part of a nuclear fuel swap deal, the foreign ministry claimed on Tuesday.

Iran will notify the Global Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, through the typical channels, inside of a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast proclaimed.

"We anticipate members of the Vienna team (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to easily announce their readiness" to implement the fuel swap, he told reporters.

The IAEA said it has acquired the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now expecting Tehran to notify it straight of what commitments it had undertaken.

"We are now expecting prepared notification from Iran that it agrees with the relevant provisions bundled in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor proclaimed on Monday.

The so-known as Vienna Party designed an offer final October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the land in return for increased grade reactor fuel to be supplied by Russia and France.

Iran stalled on the package insisting it wants a simultaneous swap on its personal soil, which was rejected by earth powers.

Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (2,640 pounds) of decreased enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for energy for a Tehran analysis reactor.

Mehmanparast said if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the nations required in the preliminary IAEA-backed option, it "will pave the way for extra nuclear cooperation."
