LONDON, July 27 (IranMania) - A top official with the Supreme National Security Council said there is a solid consensus at the highest echelons of power on continuing the country's nuclear drive, noting that the Europeans should recognize Iran's legitimate and legal right to enrich uranium.
Head of the SNSC's Information Dissemination and Propaganda Affairs Committee Ali Aqamohammadi further told ISNA that in a recent meeting, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Mohammad Khatami, president-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as well as former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi decided that that any final decision be delayed until Aug. 1.
Aqamohammadi also said Iran would reject any proposal by the EU that might seek to prevent it from carrying out nuclear work.
The warning, delivered by several of Iran's nuclear negotiating team, comes ahead of crucial talks between Tehran and the EU next month.
At that meeting, EU negotiators are due to present a proposal on the long-term prospects of Iran's atomic program.
Iran, which denies any intention of making nuclear arms, has temporarily frozen sensitive nuclear work, like uranium enrichment, while the talks go on.
"If the (EU) proposal considers Iran's legitimate and legal right to enrich uranium, we will continue the process (of talks), otherwise we won't accept the proposal," he said, clarifying that otherwise it will be unacceptable He added that Iran will not wait any longer.
Aqamohammadai echoed remarks by other Iranian officials that at the end of the August 1 deadline, Iran will resume its enrichment activities."
