Question: Please, comment on reports published in Vienna that Iranian agents are negotiating the purchase of heavy hydrogen from a Russian company.

Commentary: Russia is cooperating with Iran in peaceful use of atomic energy under the relevant intergovernmental agreements which do not envisage the supply of heavy water to Teheran by our country. The Russian side is not planning such deliveries.
