/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The U.S. rejected a new proposal of Iran to share
nuclear fuel, which, according to the spokesman in Washington,
contradicts the agreement proposed by Tehran enabling to avoid
sanctions from the UN and IAEA, RIA-Novosti with reference to the
Agence France Press reported.

On December 12, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki made a
statement about the their willingness to exchange the principal amount
of low-enriched uranium for nuclear fuel, as IAEA once suggested.

According to Iran’s proposal, Tehran is ready to give 400 kilograms of
3.5% enriched uranium in exchange for the same amount of uranium, but
20 per cent enriched.

"Iran’s proposal does not comply with the draft agreement, elaborated
by IAEA together with representatives of the United States, Russia and
France," the official representative of the United States said.
