Iran Will Receive New Incentives from the European Union

Brussels makes efforts yet again in order to control Iran's nuclear program and stated on Monday that it is able now to offer a more attractive package of incentives so that the Islamic Republic agrees without further a due.

These incentives target a more sophisticated kind of technology and know-how so that Tehran would build nuclear power plants solely for the purpose of civilian energy production and not for nuclear weapons.

According to Javier Solana, E.U.'s foreign policy chief, Iran would first have to win the trust of the international community that its reasons are well intentioned by halting the uranium enrichment program.

"We want to prove to the Iranians clearly and loudly that we have nothing against Iran using nuclear power for peaceful means. But we do not have proof that this is the case and Iranian demands to be able to conduct enrichment for research purposes are something we can't accept", said Solana after concluding a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

As far as Iran is concerned, Tehran released a statement yesterday saying that it will not accept any European deal offer as long as it demands the halting of the nuclear enrichment schedule.

The statement, signed by the Iranian Foreign Minister Manoucher Mottaki and addressing British, French and German ambassadors, said that "any demand for a suspension or pause is an illogical and unacceptable demand and undoubtedly will be rejected".
