Facing economic sanctions, Tehran ready to talk uranium enrichment suspension with Western powers
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program could be resolved quickly should world powers recognize the country’s right to master the nuclear fuel cycle for peaceful purposes.
The Tuesday remarks by Ramin Mehmanparast during a press conference in Tehran underscores Iran’s push to resume talks with the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany.
Iran has indicated that it will be willing to negotiate suspension of its highest level of uranium enrichment in return for recognition of its nuclear rights and the lifting of tough Western sanctions that have squeezed its economy.
The U.S. and its allies accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies. Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and says its right to enrich uranium is non-negotiable.

Where is it written that one has the right to nuclear arms?? Is this some sort of bad joke on mankind…a God-given right? I think they’re missing the boat on this one. If there is a right to nuclear arms, then it’s trumped by the right of others to stop the poliferation on nuclear arms. The right to stop the insanity from spreading is more in line with a God-given right in my book.

The right to enrich uranium doesn’t equate to the right to nuclear arms. But now that you mention it, who gave the right to the many countries, including Israel, to arm themselves with nuclear weapons of mass destruction?
