Tehran, Iran, Jan. 03 – Iran rejected on Tuesday any proposal aimed at defusing the international standoff over its suspected nuclear weapons program which involved Tehran enriching uranium exclusively in Russia.

“Iran will not accept any proposal that calls only for mere enrichment inside Russia but will consider one that offers a complementary and workable plan”, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said during his weekly press conference.

Moscow had proposed Tehran carry enrichment on Russian soil where it would be under strict international monitoring.

Asefi described the Russian proposal which has the backing of the International Atomic Energy Agency as “ambiguous”.

He said that a Russian nuclear delegation will arrive in Tehran on Saturday for talks aimed at reaching an agreement. Senior Iranian officials have said any agreement must not exclude uranium enrichment inside Iran.
