Tehran, on a collision course with U.S., defies UN demand to suspend program

PARIS Iran defied the United Nations on Tuesday by announcing that it had begun converting tons of uranium into the gas needed to turn the radioactive element into nuclear fuel. The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency had called Saturday for the country to suspend all such activities.
.
Iran's statement, made to reporters in Vienna by Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, put the country on a collision course with the United States, which has lobbied vigorously for the International Atomic Energy Agency to send Iran before the United Nations Security Council for its past breaches of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
...
Washington is certain to use any failure by Iran to abide by the agency's latest requests, made in a resolution passed by its 35-nation board of governors Saturday, to push for Security Council referral when the board meets again on Nov. 25.
.
While Iran, as a signatory of the treaty, has the right to convert uranium into a gas and to concentrate the fissile 235 isotope in that gas with high-speed centrifuges, a process called enrichment, the UN agency has used the threat of Security Council intervention for the country's past failings to pressure it to voluntarily end all steps leading to the production of enriched uranium.

Iran pocht auf Recht zur Uran-Anreicherung

Teheran (Reuters) - Der Iran pocht auf sein Recht zur Uran-Anreicherung. Das Land nannte aber keinen Zeitpunkt, wann es wieder mit dem umstrittenen Verfahren beginnen werde.

"Die internationale Gemeinschaft sollte das Recht des Iran auf die Anreicherung von Uran anerkennen", sagte der iranische Präsident Mohammed Chatami am Mittwoch in Teheran. Werde dieses Recht anerkannt, sei der Iran auch offen für weitere Zusammenarbeit. "Der Iran ist bereit, seine Aktivitäten unter die Aufsicht der Internationalen Atomenergiebehörde (IAEA) zu stellen und die Welt zu überzeugen, dass das Land nicht nach Atomwaffen strebt", sagte Chatami.
