Iran will reveal new nuclear program achievements

11 February 2012 [16:05] - TODAY.AZ
Iran will soon reveal new achievements in its nuclear program, Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said during the "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" program on Iran's Third Television Network, IRNA reported.

Speaking about the "threats from the West", Salehi said Iran is ready for a worst-case scenario. He added that the country "takes all threats seriously".

Regarding the Iran-Six powers talk, Iran's FM noted that "there is some uncertainty and some questions from their side", and that Iran is "trying to answer these questions".

In late January 2011, a new round of talks between Iran and the 5+1 group (the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany) was held in Istanbul but no date was set for the next round of negotiations.

The main bone of contention between Tehran and the West is Iran's uranium enrichment program.

Iran says all its nuclear activities are totally peaceful, and, as an International Atomic Energy Agency member and a nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty signatory, it has the legal right to produce nuclear fuel for its research reactors and nuclear power plants.
