Iran Will Continue to Enrich Uranium Itself If Talks Fail

An Iranian official says Iran will continue to
enrich uranium itself if talks with world powers about its nuclear
program fail.
The spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Agency Ali Shirzadian
made the announcement while speaking to the state-run Islamic
Republic News Agency (IRNA) Monday, just hours before talks
in Vienna about Iran's controversial nuclear program were set
to resume.
The discussions among representatives from Iran, Russia, France,
the U.S. and the International Atomic Energy Agency are expected
to focus on a proposal to have Iran ship uranium to Russia and
France for conversion to reactor fuel.
Western diplomats consider this a confidence-building measure
because third-party processing can ensure that Iran's uranium
is enriched to levels suitable for civilian use but below what
is needed for nuclear weapons.
Under the proposed plan, Iran would ship uranium with a purity
level of 3.5 percent. Russia and France would enrich the uranium
to 20 percent purity.
