The Islamic Republic of Iran has succeeded in entering the phase of industrial nuclear fuel production following its significant technological progress at Natanz enrichment facility, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency (IAEO) Gholam Reza Aghazadeh said on Monday.

Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani stressed that pressures and sanctions may not affect Iran’s progress and activities in the field of nuclear technology.

Deputy head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO) Mohammad Sa’eedi said Iran’s industrial production of nuclear fuel is not synonymous with the installation of 3000 centrifuges.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said production of nuclear fuel by his country would serve world peace as well as development and welfare of the Iranian and other world nations.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Monday stressed that full access to the nuclear fuel production technology is a beginning to longer strides in the domain of science and technology.

Iran’s Chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani in the northeastern city of Mashhad on Monday stressed that his country would not compromise with anyone on national interests in the sphere of nuclear energy.

Hosting an Iranian delegation headed by deputy Interior Minister for Security Affairs Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr last week, Russia proved inefficiency of the recent UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution against Iran’s nuclear activities.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad Reza Baqeri said his chief has no program for meeting his US counterpart Condoleezza Rice on the sidelines of the meeting of the foreign ministers of Iraq’s neighbors in Sharm ol-Sheikh, Egypt.

Member of the Iranian parliament’s presiding board said that Iran’s giant and frequent successes in the acquisition of the nuclear fuel production cycle guarantee its power and might in the international arena.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said he can’t promise to set free the five Iranian diplomats kidnapped during a raid by the US troops on Iran’s consulate general in the Iraqi northern city of Erbil a few months ago.
