Mohammad Saeedi Quotations

The production of nuclear fuel is still in suspension and we hope to reach a conclusion over it in the near future, and also reach a clear agreement with the Europeans in this regard.

Since the Additional Protocol is not in force any more, some of those cameras should be taken out.

If the case returns to the agency again, we will begin the section that concerns the Additional Protocol.

If talk of referral is raised, then all ways will be blocked.

It has been decided that the International Atomic Energy Agency will be informed today about (our) research in the field of nuclear fuel. Research will resume in cooperation and coordination with the IAEA in the next few days.

That will be a separate issue on which no decision has been made.

We hope that the report from the inspectors for the November IAEA meeting will be positive and will be taken into account by all agency members.

We are in the transition state, and the inspectors will work under the NPT.

What we resume is merely in the field of research, not more than that.

Europeans should definitely have a role in this package. Russia would have an essential role, China could have a role, too. The proposal has the potential to advance.

This information was spread with a deliberate goal.

The agency has promised us it will remove the (IAEA) seals by noon (0730 GMT) on Wednesday because the installation of (surveillance) cameras has been completed.

There was a round of inspections two weeks ago and there will be another from this Saturday to Wednesday,

In the near future, Iran will officially announce an international tender for the construction of two nuclear power plants and, taking all technical requirements as well as security guarantees into consideration, will definitely choose the most qualified companies,

Iran has told the agency that it would prepare all necessary facilities for the agency so that it can open the site in time,

If the issue is returned to the International Atomic Energy Agency, we will be ready to allow intrusive inspections.

The IAEA said in a letter to us today that it gives (the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran) permission to remove the seals and fully restart activities at the facility,

The European Union's resolution is unacceptable and we reject it,

The enrichment will continue. But regarding the Additional Protocol, we will continue implementing the Additional Protocol as a voluntary measure.
