Iran is ready to build uranium enrichment plants abroad and to advise countries importing nuclear power plants on how to write contracts protecting their rights, Iranian vice president and head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani, said in Vienna Tuesday.

At a press conference during the IAEA's Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Safety, Abbasi-Davani said Iran would work only with countries which were parties to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and that any such cooperation would be exclusively under the supervision of the IAEA.

He declared, through an interpreter, that "all Iran's nuclear activities are under full-scope safeguards and exclusively for peaceful purposes." Iran is widely suspected of pursuing a military nuclear capability and the international community has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Iran for failure to abide by its safeguards obligations under the NPT.
