Brussels, 19/06/2006 (Agence Europe) - Anonymously quoting "two sources from the Teheran regime", the Financial Times reported in its edition of 19 June that Iran is said to be prepared to limit its nuclear programme, as long as it is not obliged to give up on its uranium enrichment activities. The article continued by declaring that nearly 70% of top Iranian figures would apparently be prepared, under pressure, to accept a possible limit on the number of centrifuges in place, explained one of the sources quoted by the FT, before going on to state that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not one of them. The FT also indicated that the Iranian regime is currently drawing up a "counter-proposal" to be submitted within the next two weeks to the "Six"- the five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany- in response to their package of incentives offering Teheran technological cooperation (on the construction of the light water nuclear reactors) and trade concessions. According to the sources quoted by the FT, Teheran is to propose a discussion without conditions in the hope that China and Russia will not start off by requiring Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment activities; a condition on which the "Six" agreed at their meeting in Vienna on 1 June. On Sunday, however, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Minister, Hamid Reza Assefi, stated that Iran rejected any "precondition" to dialogue with the "Six", thus rejecting any suspension of its uranium enrichment activities.
