TEHRAN, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A proposal for Iran to send semi-enriched uranium out of the country to be processed into nuclear fuel rods has been called off, an Iranian politician says.
The semiofficial Iranian Student's News Agency Saturday quoted Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the chief of Iran's Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, as saying the proposed deal backed the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency is dead, CNN reported.
Under the proposed deal, Iran would ship its low-enriched uranium abroad, possibly to Russia, where it would be further enriched and sent back for use in medical treatments.
"Iran is not to give any of its 1,200 kilograms (of) fuel to the other party to receive 20 percent (enriched) fuel and whether gradually or at once, this will not be done and is called off," Boroujerdi reportedly told ISNA.
