伊朗表示正在研究由美国、俄罗斯和法国提出的核燃料加工新方案，但法国和俄罗斯否认提出了任何新提议。伊朗媒体星期一援引伊朗原子能机构负责人萨利希的话说，伊朗在宣布将铀浓缩到更高纯度之后收到了新的核燃料加工方案。
法国外交部一位发言人否认有萨利希所说的新方案，并表示向伊朗提交的唯一方案就是去年10月由国际原子能机构提出的方案。国际文传电讯社报导，俄罗斯外交部也说，俄罗斯及其他伙伴国没有向伊朗提交任何新提议。伊朗对于是否接受国际原子能机构的提议一直态度含糊。该协议要求伊朗将铀送到国外进一步浓缩，以缓解国际社会对其有能力发展核武器的担心。
Iran says it is studying new proposals for a nuclear fuel deal from the United States, Russia and France, though Paris and Moscow deny that any new offers were made. Iranian media Monday quote the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, as saying the proposals were received after Tehran announced it was enriching its own uranium to a higher level.
A French foreign ministry spokesperson dismissed Salehi’s claim, saying the only proposition to Iran is the one presented by the International Atomic Energy Agency last October. Interfax news agency reported that the Russian Foreign Ministry also says Moscow and its partners did not make any new proposals to Tehran. Iran has given mixed signals on whether it will accept the IAEA proposal. The deal would have Iran ship uranium abroad for further enrichment, to ease concerns about its ability to develop a nuclear weapon.
