According to the Khaleej Times, Reuters, dated February 3rd, 2010: 9: 07 AM, Iran is ready to send enriched uranium abroad. See below for more detail: TEHRAN - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday Iran was ready to send its enriched uranium abroad in exchange for nuclear fuel under a plan the West hopes will stop the material being used for atomic bombs. The U.N. nuclear agency has brokered a proposed deal under which Iran, which denies seeking nuclear weapons, would send its low enriched uranium abroad in exchange for more highly enriched fuel to produce medical isotopes. "We have no problem sending our enriched uranium abroad," Ahmadinejad told state television. "We say: we will give you our 3.5 percent enriched uranium and will get the fuel. It may take 4 to 5 months until we get the fuel,"he said. "If we send our enriched uranium abroad and then they do not give us the 20 percent enriched fuel for our reactor, we are capable of producing it inside Iran," he added. President Ahmadinejad's comments came after Iran and the U.N. nuclear watchdog said last week a deal on uranium enrichment was still possible, even though Western diplomats had said Tehran had effectively turned down the proposal. Under the proposed deal Tehran would transfer 70 percent of its low-enriched uranium (LEU) abroad for conversion into special fuel rods to keep the nuclear medicine reactor running. The president spoke about nuclear plans on the same day Iran said it would soon hang nine more rioters over unrest that erupted after a disputed presidential vote in June last year. Opposition protesters said the poll was rigged. "Nine others will be hanged soon. The nine, and the two who were hanged on Thursday, were surely arrested in the recent riots and had links to anti-revolutionary groups," said senior judiciary official Ebrahim Raisi, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. The two men hanged last week were among 11 people sentenced to death on charges including "waging war against God". The June election gave Ahmadinejad a second term, but sparked the worst internal crisis in the Islamic Republic's history. The government denied any fraud in the voting. Opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi, a former prime minister, said the repression showed the 1979 Islamic revolution that overthrew the U.S.-backed Shah "had not achieved its goals". "Filling the prisons and brutally killing protesters show that the root of ... dictatorship remain from the monarchist era," he said on his Kalemeh website. New sanctions? In the United States, Vice President Joe Biden said Iran's leaders were "sowing the seeds of their own destruction" through their harsh crackdown on anti-government unrest. "The people of Iran are thinking about, the very people marching, they're thinking about regime change," Biden told MSNBC when asked whether it was time for "regime change" in Iran since President Barack Obama's effort to engage the Islamic republic had failed to make progress. Signalling Washington was sticking to its dual track of diplomacy and sanctions, Biden insisted: "It's time (for the United States) to reach out, demonstrate that we're not the problem, the hand that gets rejected, and be able to have the whole world stay with us ... against the Iranian government." Ahmadinejad also said three U.S. citizens detained in Iran and charged with spying may be swapped with jailed Iranians in the United States. "We do not like to have any person in jail. Some discussions are going on to swap the three with jailed Iranians in America," Ahmadinejad told state television. He did not clarify whether the discussions were held with U.S. officials. The three were detained after they strayed into Iran from northern Iraq at the end of July, further complicating relations between Tehran and Washington that were already deadlocked over Iran's nuclear programme. Iran has said that the three Americans would be put on trial, without giving a date. The plan for Iran's low-enriched uranium aims to reduce Iran's reserves below the quantity needed for the fissile core of a nuclear weapon, if the material were refined to a high degree of purity. Western powers accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons ability under cover of a civilian enrichment programme that Tehran says will fuel a future network of nuclear power plants so it can export more of its abundant oil and gas. Iran denies this. The United States and major European allies are pursuing broader U.N. sanctions against the Islamic Republic over its disputed nuclear activity. The United States, Britain, Germany and France have called for a fourth round of U.N. measures against Iran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment activities as demanded by five Security Council resolutions.

December 7, 2009, Monday: The IAEA circulated a communication from the the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran (issued as INFCIRC/779) regarding statements made by Iran during the meeting of the Board of Governors on 27 November 2009. The Secretariat has received a Note Verbale dated 3 December 2009 from the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Agency transmitting the text of two statements of the Resident Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran delivered during the meeting of the Board of Governors on 27 November 2009 under agenda item 4(c) on the “Implementation of the NPT safeguards agreement and relevant provisions of Security Council resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and 1835 (2008) in the Islamic Republic of Iran (GOV/2009/74)”. The Note Verbale and, as requested therein, its enclosures, are circulated. November, 27, 2009, Friday. IAEA Board Adopts Resolutions. In its second day of deliberations in its final meeting for 2009, the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency adopted two resolutions by vote. Resolution: Iran, 27 November 2009 [pdf] : which describes the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency adopted two resolutions by vote:
The Khaleej Times, Reuters, dated February 3rd, 2010: 9: 07 AM reported that Iran is ready to send enriched uranium abroad althought the Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency Yukiya Amano said in 2009 he had not seen any evidence in IAEA official documents that Iran was seeking the ability to develop nuclear weapons, while a 2009 U.S. congressional research paper says U.S. intelligence believes Iran ended "nuclear weapon design and weaponization work" in 2003. Also, the IAEA reported that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons, or even weapons-grade uranium. On March 6, 2006, the IAEA Secretariat reported that "the Agency has not seen indications of diversion of nuclear material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices ... however, after three years of intensive verification, there remain uncertainties with regard to both the scope and the nature of Iran's nuclear programme report shows that U.S. intelligence believes Iranian intentions are unknown to the U.S., but asserts that if Iran pursues a nuclear weapon it “is unlikely to achieve this capability before 2013” and recognizes "the possibility that this capability may not be attained until after 2015". Over 100,000 Iranian troops and civilians were victims to chemical weapons during the 1980s Iran–Iraq War. On ideological grounds, a public and religious decree against the development, production, stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons has been issued by the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic. Iran says its uranium enrichment program is exclusively for peaceful purposes and has enriched uranium to "less than 5 percent," consistent with fuel for a nuclear power plant and significantly below the purity of WEU (around 90%) typically used in a weapons program. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is an autonomous body, established by the United Nations, that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to inhibit its use for military purposes. Report shows that in the early 1990s, in the immediate aftermath of the first Gulf War, a secret Iraqi programme to produce nuclear weapons was uncovered. This led to the first occasion on which the Agency’s 35 Member Board of Governors — its key policy-making body — concluded that an NPT State had blatantly violated its safeguards obligations. See the 35 Countries Board Members for 2009-2010.
Request by the Russian Federation regarding its Initiative to Establish a Reserve of Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) for the Supply of LEU to the IAEA for its Member States Resolution adopted by the Board of Governors on 27 November 2009 The IAEA Board of Governors, the 35-member policymaking body, also authorized the public distribution of the resolutions on Iran and the low enriched uranium reserve, as well as the Director General´s report on the implementation of safeguards in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Board of Governors will next meet on 1 March 2010. We cannot afford to forget. That beginning, of course, took place in Japan in August 1945, when the destructive horror of nuclear weapons was so vividly, and tragically, demonstrated. It is important to prevent the disaster maybe happend when it's reproducing enriched uranium abroad nomatter what any circumstances. IAEA 35 board members continue to working together to prevent human life and safty as a global world peace. Resources:
