Iranian MPs reject UN uranium plan

AP, AFP, Tehran/ Washington
Iran's senior lawmakers have rejected a UN-backed plan to ship much of the country's uranium abroad for further enrichment.
The move raises further doubts about the likelihood Tehran will approve the deal.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, who heads the parliament's National Security Committee, told the semi-official ISNA news agency Saturday that the legislature is totally against shipping low enriched uranium abroad in return for nuclear fuel.
Kazem Jalali, another senior lawmaker, says there is no guarantee on receiving the fuel even if Iran sends its uranium.
The UN plan would require Iran to send 70 percent of its low-enriched uranium to Russia in one batch by the end of the year. Iran has indicated that it may agree to send only "part" of its stockpile.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said yesterday it is still difficult for Iran to trust Western powers when it comes to negotiations, but he hopes the nuclear dialogue between the two will conti nue.
His comments came as the White House warned that US President Barack Obama will not wait for ever for Tehran's response to a UN-drafted deal to supply Iran with nuclear fuel in exchange for its low-enriched uranium (LEU).
Western powers are awaiting a clear response from Tehran over the nuclear fuel deal brokered by UN atomic watchdog the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
France has said the deal aims to ship out 1,200 kilos of Iran's LEU -- enriched at a facility in Natanz in defiance of three sets of UN sanctions — for further higher processing abroad and converting into fuel for a Tehran research reactor.
Western powers are backing the deal as the Tehran reactor is an internationally supervised facility.
The deal is a aimed at removing from the country Tehran's stock of LEU, a major concern in the West which suspects the enriched material could be further enriched for use in nuclear weapons.
Israel, which maintains that world powers must keep all options on table to haltTehran's nuclear drive, including a military strike, has also backed the UN-drafted deal.
The Jewish state is the Middle East's sole - if undeclared - - nuclear-armed power.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday called the deal "a positive first step," as it supports efforts "to unite the international community to address the challenge of Iran's attempts to become a nuclear military power."
The IAEA has confirmed that Tehran has given an "initial" response to the deal, but late on Friday IRNA reported saying Iran's response was "not an answer" to the deal and that it wanted more talks.
On Friday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs warned that Obama will not wait for ever for a formal reply from Iran to the deal.
"The president's time is noi unlimited, this was not about talking for the sake of talking, this was about reaching an agreement that just a few weeks ago seemed to be something that the Iranians wanted," he said.
But Ahmadinejad said Iran still distrusts Western powers.
"The government, like all Iranian people, looks at the negotiations with no trust, given the negative record of Western powers, but realities make them interact with Iranian people," he said.
His views were echoed by influential lawmaker Alaeddin Borujerdi who also opposes sendingLEU abroad.
"We are completely against theoffer... I think the best option is to buy the necessary fuel for the Tehran reactor as before," Borujerdi. who heads parliament's committee on national security and foreign policy told ISNA
Citing the example of Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant, Borujerdi said Iran "widely distrusts Westerners" who 'did not fulfil their contracts with Iran."
The Bushehr facility, being built by Moscow, was begun in 1970s, but has still not gone on stream.
