Nuclear research a must, says Iran

IRAN’S Foreign Ministry yesterday insisted on a right to do research on nuclear centrifuges in a threat that could scupper a deal with the European Union to dispel international fears Tehran seeks nuclear arms.

“The resolution is still unsatisfactory for Iran and some points should be changed,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters.

“We have always had this research and development issue and have never abandoned it. It should be continued.”
