Iran today declared its preemptive rejection of any proposal made to them stipulating that they stop their Uranium enrichment activity. Iran says that the enrichment is for peaceful fuel provision and it will only consider proposals that acknowledge this and allow them to continue enrichment in line with NPF treaties.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran says it will reject any proposal to halt uranium enrichment, a step European Union diplomats are proposing to end a row over whether Iran is seeking atomic weapons.

EU diplomats have said they are seeking U.S. and Russian support for a deal that would ask Iran to give up uranium enrichment in return for technical and economic assistance.

"Any proposal which deprives Iran of its legitimate right to a fuel cycle is not acceptable," Hossein Mousavian, Iran"s head of foreign policy on the Supreme National Security Council, told state television on Saturday.

It is indeed Iran's right to process Uranium in association with its nuclear energy infrastructure, but this enriched Uranium can also be used as part of a nuclear weapons program.

The EU wants to offer Iran "technical and economic assistance" (Reuters) in exchange for abandoning its enrichment activity altogether, with no stipulation allowing for the retainment of peaceful nuclear energy programs.
