TEHRAN – Iran will take steps to enrich uranium to 20 percent under the IAEA supervision, should the talks fail to obtain fuel for the Tehran nuclear research reactor, MP Jalal Kazemi said on Sunday.

According to a deal drafted by the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran would exchange some of its low-enriched uranium for 20 percent enriched uranium for the reactor, which produces radioisotopes for medical treatment.
Iran has said the first priority is to buy fuel for the reactor. Iran has also said it will only exchange its low-enriched uranium after it receives the 20 percent enriched uranium promised in the nuclear deal.
All options on the table
Under a pressure by the West, the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors adopted resolution against Iran on Friday. The resolution criticized Iran for beginning construction of a new uranium enrichment facility at Fordo, which is near Qom, and demanded that it immediately halt its construction.
Twenty-five members of the 35-nation board, including Russia and China, voted in favor of the resolution.
Angry over the IAEA board’s decision, the Majlis asked the government on Sunday to reduce its cooperation with the IAEA.
However, Jalali said that Tehran should approach the issue from all angles until it reaches a desirable result on how to continue cooperation with the IAEA.
He told the Mehr News Agency that all options are on the table
