Iran vows to proceed its nuke plans

Tehran, Sept 28 - Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi here on Sunday said Iran is in no way willing to make any deal over its nuclear technology program.

He stressed Iran's commitment to non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been fully transparent, he said, quoting the IAEA Chief Mohammad Elbradei as saying that Tehran's cooperation with the agency is positive and growing.

He regretted that Tehran's move has not met with an appropriate response by the international community, saying that the resolution issued against Iran by the IAEA board of governors is politically-motivated.

Tehran believes that negotiations and cooperation with the IAEA should be continued, he said.

If both Iran and the IAEA are left in a calm and peaceful atmosphere far from influence and pressure by other powers, particularly the US, the result will be more fruitful, Asefi further noted.

On the resolution issued by the IAEA board of governors, he said relevant bodies are preparing a response to the agency, adding that whenever the response is prepared and announced, everyone will be informed of the process of continued cooperation with the agency.

According to coordination made between Iran and the IAEA, the agency's inspectors are to visit the Islamic Republic by the end of this week and until then they have enough time to make best use of the upcoming visit, Asefi added.
