I said we are ready for any new ideas to reach to some compromise on this issue. They are supporting some kind of nuclear apartheid which is not acceptable to us.

If we reach some compromise, we continue our cooperation from where we are now. That is, the research department will continue its activity.

This resolution has no legal basis. All it does is simply remove the opportunity for voluntary cooperation between Iran and the agency.

All voluntary measures taken over the past two-and-a-half or three years have been halted and we have no further commitment to the additional protocol and other voluntary commitments.

Russia's plan is at a stage of serious consideration, and negotiations on it are ongoing. Agreement between Tehran and Moscow has already been reached on certain points of Russia's proposals, in particular on increasing the number of participants in the project.

If nuclear technology is useful for the United States, isn't it useful for other countries? We do not accept global nuclear and scientific 'apartheid'.
