TEHRAN: Iran said on Friday it is preparing to give more details on its response to international proposals for supplying nuclear fuel and expects
more negotiations, even as Washington warned the time for talking is over. Foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Iran would give the additional details to the UN nuclear watchdog following the initial response it gave to the proposals from three major powers on October 29. "We have some more details which we have to give to the International Atomic Energy Agency," state television quoted him on its website as saying. "We have three options -- enrich the fuel ourselves, buy it directly or exchange our uranium for fuel," he said. "They (the IAEA and the major powers) have to choose from these options. Given the need of Iran to have the fuel, my view is that they will accept another round of discussions." Mottaki's suggestion of further talks came despite a warning from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yesterday that Washington's patience at Tehran's failure to give its definitive response was beginning to wear thin. She called on Iran to accept unamended the proposals drawn up by the IAEA after talks it held with France, Russia and the United States. "As I have said, this is a pivotal moment for Iran, and we urge Iran to accept the agreement as proposed," Clinton told reporters.
