/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told state TV
Saturday that the West must "make a decision" regarding the Iranian
counter proposal. The proposal suggests either selling Tehran the fuel
or swapping it for Iran’s enriched uranium.
Mottaki says this is an "ultimatum."
He says the international community "has one month left" to decide –
or Tehran will begin enriching uranium to higher levels needed for the
fuel.
Iran dismissed an end-of-2009 deadline on a U.N.-drafted deal to swap
enriched uranium for nuclear fuel. The deal would have reduced Iran’s
capabilities to make nuclear weapons, reported The Associated Press.
