Iran awaits quick response to nuclear offer

Iran will notify the Global Atomic Vitality Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, by means of the usual channels, inside a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast claimed.
"We assume members of the Vienna party (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to speedily announce their readiness" to implement the energy swap, he told reporters.
The IAEA said it has obtained the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now expecting Tehran to notify it straight of what commitments it had undertaken.
"We are now ready for written notification from Iran that it agrees with the relevant provisions integrated in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor stated on Monday.
The so-labeled Vienna Party built an deliver final October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the region in return for better grade reactor fuel to be supplied by Russia and France.
Iran stalled on the deal insisting it wants a simultaneous swap on its private soil, which was rejected by earth powers.
Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (2,640 pounds) of reduced enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for fuel for a Tehran research reactor.
Mehmanparast proclaimed if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the nations needed in the initial IAEA-backed cope, it "will pave the way for additional nuclear cooperation."
