TEHRAN, April 19 (Xinhua) -- A senior Iranian
lawmaker revealed on Saturday that the country will disclose soon its proposal
package aiming to resolve its nuclear standoff with the West, the State-run
satellite Press TV reported.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the parliament's
National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, was quoted as saying that Iran
will provide the UN nuclear watchdog, or the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA), and the 5+1 Group, namely the United States, Britain, China, France,
Russia and Germany, with the new proposals.
"The Iranian package of proposals will guarantee our
enrichment rights," Boroujerdi said, adding that "I do not believe the Islamic
Republic would refuse negotiations."
The Iranian lawmaker, however, ruled out Iran's
consideration of an offer asked by the 5+1 Group if it merely "focuses on a halt
in uranium enrichment."
The United States and its Western allies have accused
Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear
program. Iran has denied the charges and insisted that its nuclear program is
for peaceful purposes only.
The U.N. Security Council has imposed three sanctions
against Tehran's nuclear program since Dec. 2006.
On April 16, officials from the United States,
Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany convene in Shanghai, China, to
discuss a plan to restart talks on Iran's nuclear issue.
