Iran 'may resume' uranium project

[emad]

Iran has threatened to restart its uranium enrichment activity after talks with EU negotiators over its nuclear programme ended in deadlock.

Iranian negotiator Cyrus Nasseri said Tehran may be "forced to resume part of its enrichment programme", after meeting EU counterparts in London.

Both sides are expected to meet again on the sidelines of a nuclear arms control summit in New York on 2 May.

Iran denies US allegations it is aiming to secretly develop nuclear weapons.

Iran Says It Expects to Resume Activities Related to Uranium Enrichment Next Week

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran will likely resume some nuclear activities related to uranium enrichment next week, Iran's top nuclear negotiator was quoted by the state-run news agency as saying Saturday.

Hasan Rowhani said it was unlikely the Islamic Republic will resume actual uranium enrichment - injecting uranium gas into centrifuges - but that it expects to restart activities at its uranium conversion facility in Isfahan, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

"It's unlikely that uranium enrichment ... which takes place in Natanz will be resumed but it's likely that some activities at Isfahan Uranium Conversion Facility will restart next week," IRNA quoted Rowhani as saying.

Rowhani's comments came the day after the latest negotiations aimed at persuading Iran to scrap its nuclear program ended in London without a breakthrough. France, Britain and Germany, acting on behalf of the 25-nation European Union, are seeking guarantees that Iran is not attempting to build an atomic bomb, as Washington suspects.
