据报导,伊朗已经拒绝了由联合国斡旋的一项铀浓缩计划。

熟悉谈判情况的西方国家官员说,伊朗对联合国的国际原子能机构表示,它不会接受将铀运往国外进行低度浓缩的提议。

这项提议的目的是为了防止伊朗将铀浓缩到能够制造核武器的水平。参加谈判的美国、俄罗斯和法国已经同意了这项提议。

国际原子能机构说,他们星期四收到了伊朗对于该计划的“初步”回应,但没有透露任何细节。

欧盟领导人星期五敦促伊朗尽快同意这项计划,并表示这将有助于建立互信。

Iran is reported to have rejected a United Nations-brokered uranium enrichment plan.

A Western official close to the negotiations with Tehran says Iran told the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency that it will not accept the plan to ship its uranium abroad for low-level enrichment.

The proposal is aimed at preventing Iran from enriching uranium to the point that it can be used for nuclear weapons. It has already been agreed to by the other parties involved in the negotiations — the United States, Russia and France.

The IAEA said it received Iran’s “initial” response to the plan Thursday, but did not provide any details.

European Union leaders Friday urged Iran to accept the deal, saying this would help “build confidence.”
