U.S. President George W. Bush said on the
9th that the deadline for Iran to respond to the Iranian nuclear program
proposed by the six countries is only "a few weeks" rather than
"a few months." On the 10th, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr
Mottaki responded that Iran was already studying this plan and would propose a
"corresponding plan." The "corresponding plan" may be a
"revised version" or a "new plan" of the above-mentioned
package plan.
U.S. President Bush said at a press
conference at Camp David on the 9th that the deadline for Iran to respond to
the above-mentioned package is only "weeks" rather than
"months". If Iran still does not suspend uranium enrichment by then,
"then There will be consequences.”
Bush said: "We have given the Iranians
a deadline to consider this option, not months, but weeks. If they do not
choose to verifiably stop the (uranium enrichment) program, then the United
Nations Security Council will take action."
However, according to the latest report on
Iran's nuclear issue disclosed by the International Atomic Energy Agency on the
8th, on the 6th when EU representative Solana submitted a package plan to Iran,
Iran once again launched uranium enrichment activities.

Foreign Minister Zahar on the 10th, Iranian Foreign Minister Mottaki said that
Iran is studying the new solution to the Iranian nuclear issue adopted at the
six-nation foreign minister-level meeting, and may propose additional
suggestions or Iran's own solution.

quoted Mottaki as saying that Iran has begun to study the six-nation plan and
will formally inform European countries of its opinions after the evaluation is
completed. However, Iran’s feedback may be either a revision of the plan or it
may be a revision of the plan. A brand new plan proposed by myself.
Mottaki said: "We hope that shuttle
diplomacy with the international community can have a positive effect on the
Islamic Republic's final answer. Whether it is a revised or a new plan, Europe
should study it carefully." But he did not disclose Iran's response to the
six-nation plan. which parts of the document should be modified and how.
Mottaki also emphasized that Iran hopes to
reach full understanding with the international community and find a "good
way that can not only ensure Iran's legitimate nuclear rights but also
eliminate the concerns of the international community."
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
warned the West not to view the six-nation plan as a concession to Iran.

opposition to the six-nation plan on the 9th, saying that it only benefits the
West.
