Tehran, February 07 (QNA) - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Sunday that his country would soon start enriching uranium to 20 per cent by itself if the world powers "continue playing games" with it.Ahmadinejad blamed the world powers for the stalemate over an UN-drafted nuclear fuel deal, but left the door open for possible negotiation over the proposal.
He also insisted that world powers "unconditionally" accept exchanging Iran's low-enriched uranium (LEU) for high purity 20 percent enriched uranium required as nuclear fuel for the Tehran reactor which makes medical isotopes."I had said let us give them (world powers) two to three months and if they don't agree, we would start ourselves," Ahmadinejad said in a speech at an exhibition on laser technology which was broadcast live on Iran's state television.Ahmadinejad's latest statement comes after he indicated in an interview on state television on Tuesday that Iran was ready to send its LEU abroad for converting into 20 percent nuclear fuel.
