Tehran has received several proposals on uranium exchange, which Iran is willing to consider, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast was quoted as saying by the Ilna news agency. He was commenting on the French Foreign Ministry's recent statements.
There has been no new offer to Iran by the international community regarding its nuclear program, the ministry's spokesman said Monday.
Following Iran's decision to enrich uranium to 20 percent in the country, the U.S., Russia and France submitted a joint proposal on uranium exchange to Iran. The issue is under investigation, Iranian Atomic Energy Organization Director Ali Akbar Salehi said earlier.
"Iran may stop uranium enrichment if the country's conditions on uranium enrichment are fulfilled," he added.
Iran's uranium enrichment to 20 percent does not contradict proposals on fuel purchase and exchange. If new proposals are consistent with Iranian interests, the country will consider them, he said at a weekly news conference.
In October 2009, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and "six international mediators on Iran" (Russia, the U.S., China, Britain, France and Germany) offered Tehran to exchange low-enriched uranium to high-enriched uranium. Iran has not rejected the proposal, but the parties failed to agree on a fuel exchange.
The Fars news agency reported that in an interview with the TV channel Al-Alam this morning, Salehi confirmed having received Russian, French and U.S. proposals, which are currently being studied by the Iranian side.
