世界六个大国的官员对伊朗拒绝接受将其生产的铀送到国外进一步浓缩的提议表示失望。
欧盟官员库珀说，伊朗没有对联合国斡旋的浓缩铀计划做出积极的反应。在此之前，联合国安理会的五个常任理事国和德国的代表星期五在布鲁塞尔举行会谈，讨论伊朗的核项目。
伊朗外交部长穆塔基说，伊朗将不把铀送到国外进一步浓缩，只会考虑在伊朗境内进行以铀换燃料的做法。
星期五，联合国国际原子能机构总干事巴拉迪敦促伊朗接受有关提议。他说，他希望伊朗不要错失他所说的“独一无二和稍纵即逝的机会”。
Officials from six world powers have expressed disappointment at Iran’s refusal to accept a proposal to send its uranium abroad for further enrichment.
European Union official Robert Cooper says Iran has not responded “positively” to the U.N.-brokered enrichment plan.Cooper spoke after representatives from Germany and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council (the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia) held talks Friday in Brussels about Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki has said his country will not process its enriched uranium abroad and will consider only a uranium-for-fuel swap inside Iran.
On Friday, the head of the U.N. nuclear agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, urged Iran to accept the offer. He said he hopes Iran will not miss what he called a “unique but fleeting opportunity.”
