West urges Tehran to accept uranium enrichment deal
03 November 2009
Western powers have urged Tehran to immediately reply to the IAEA proposal. “We both want to see a prompt response from the Iranian regime in respect of the Tehran research reactor proposal," Britain’s Foreign Minister David Miliband said at a news conference with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during a visit to Morocco that the Iran package currently on the table would not be changed. "Acceptance of this proposal ... would be a good indication that Iran does not wish to be isolated and does wish to cooperate with the international community." She said Iran should accept the deal it as it stood, "because we are not altering it."
In his farewell speech to the UN General Assembly in New York, IAEA Director-General Mohammed ElBaradei said the proposed deal offered “a unique and fleeting opportunity to reverse course from confrontation to cooperation and should therefore not be missed.”
