Iranian officials intend to negotiate with US for preserving uranium enrichment

Tehran, Jun 12 (UNI) Iranian officials intend to negotiate with the US to preserve the country's uranium enrichment programme, according to an official report by Iranian state media on Friday.
Under the terms of a draft agreement published by IRNA news, a proposed 60-day ceasefire would begin once a memorandum of understanding is signed. During that period, both sides would hold talks on the future of Iran's nuclear programme.
IRNA, citing unnamed Iranian officials, said Tehran would continue to defend what it describes as its right to enrich uranium. The report also said Iran would oppose any demand to remove its stockpile of enriched material from the country.
