Iran continues nuclear development program

Ambassador of Great Britain at the International Atomic Energy Agency Simon Smith is convinced that Iran is working on developing nuclear bombs.

"There are many reasons for concern about the continuation of Iran's nuclear program. This is documented in the report of the Agency Director General Mohammed ElBaradei al. Iran has over 8,000 centrifuges, which is more than ever," said Smith, in an interview with the Vienna daily "Presse".

Meeting of the Council of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency held this week in Vienna.

Osvrnuvši on the part of the report which talks about slowing down Iran's nuclear program, Smith said that Tehran should be a year ago to allow control and access to the reactor in Arak.

"We are sure that we applaud. According to the report of the Agency, Iran has put less uranium in centrifuges, however, is more centrifuge. Only if Iran had a large network of civilian nuclear reactors, centrifuges would make sense. But Iran does not have a reactor which is required enriched uranium, "explained Smith.

British diplomat rejects allegations that Iran wants to build nuclear power plants, pointing out that there is no economic logic for the production of nuclear fuel.

"In the current report, the Agency has processed a military dimension to Iran's nuclear program," said Smith, adding that the report says that Iran has a number of projects on development of missiles.

Smith is convinced that Iran is working on developing nuclear bombs, "the Iranian projects could only be used for research to develop nuclear explosives.

As for the international community, Smith said that she followed a double strategy. On the one hand encourages Iran to cooperate, but the other increases the pressure.

"We are waiting whether Iran will accept the offer of talks from April. If you do not then it can only take action by the UN Security Council by the Iranian računiti be frozen or introduce sanctions oil sector," explained Smith.

Ahmadinejad: Nuclear program of Iran's inalienable right

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Iran was ready to negotiate with world powers, but not about the "inalienable right" of the country's nuclear program.

Ahmadinejad said that Iran would present its proposals regarding its nuclear program permanent member of UN Security Council, but did not say when Iran would be able to present their proposals.

Iran committed to "creating opportunities for the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and to prevent development of nuclear weapons," said the Iranian president.

"Set the proposal is a response to your request for renewal of negotiations. We determine the framework and our proposals," said the Iranian president. Western countries gave Tehran until the end of September to accept negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program.
