BEIJING, May 19 -- Chief Iranian negotiator Hassan Rohani says Iran will
not back down on resuming its nuclear activities, but may delay work if talks go
well.
Rohani repeatedly said in an interview that
Iran would not change its mind about restarting a uranium conversion plant in
the city of Isfahan, saying the decision has been made and it is irreversible.
He added, however, that such a step would not lead automatically to the
next and most critical stage of the nuclear fuel process, the enrichment of
uranium.
Rohani said Iran will hold a new round of nuclear talks with the foreign
ministers of Britain, France and Germany in Paris set for May 23.
Rohani noted Iran may delay work at the Isfahan facility for a few weeks if
it feels that the Europeans are determined to stick the agreements reached and
do not want to waste time.
