Iran may ship ‘part’ of its uranium abroad

Mottaki said Iran is weighing between the U.N.-drafted plan or buying its own enriched uranium.

In either case,Iran would continue to enrich its own uranium as well,he said.

The West sees the U.N.-brokered plan as a way to ease concerns that Iranian labs could push the uranium enrichment to higher,weapon-grade levels.

Iran claims it only seeks peaceful nuclear energy.
