TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Tuesday the European Union had until August 1 to present a proposal that would enable the country to produce nuclear fuel or Tehran will go its own way, a senior Iranian official said on Tuesday.
Ali Aghamohammadi, spokesman for Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told state television there could be no backtracking on the right to atomic fuel.
An EU troika of Britain, Germany and France has been in talks with Tehran to try to defuse a crisis over Iran's nuclear program. The EU group has asked Iran to stop making nuclear fuel in return for economic incentives.
The EU trio has until early August to present Iran with a set of final proposals aimed at ending the dispute.
"We have told Europeans that there should not be any delay in submitting their proposals," Aghamohammadi said. "After August 1 we will make our decision."
