Tehran, Sept 29, IRNA -- Iran said on Tuesday it would soon offer a timetable for international inspectors to visit a new nuclear enrichment facility.

Head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, told reporters in Tehran: "We are not going to discuss anything related to our nuclear rights, but we can discuss about disarmament, we can discuss about non-proliferation and other general issues."

"The new site is part of our rights and there is no need to discuss it," he said, adding that Tehran would not abandon its nuclear activities even for a second.

Salehi repeated Iranian assurances that the new plant will "produce enriched uranium of up to five percent, consistent with its nuclear energy program." That level of enrichment is far less than required for nuclear weapons.

Salehi accused Western leaders of politicizing Iran's nuclear activities but promised that Iran would seek to resolve the dispute over the national nuclear program.

Iran is ready to cooperate "both politically and technically" with the I.A.E.A. and with the outside powers that deal with the issue -- the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany.

Salehi described as "baseless" accusations that Iran was planning to use the new plant to make weapons-grade material.

He said that it was "against our ethics and religion" to build nuclear weapons.

"It is against our tenets, it is against our religion to produce, use, hold or have nuclear weapons or arsenal, how can we more clearly state our position? Since 1974 we have been saying this," Salehi added.
