Tehran, Iran: State TV says Iran wants to buy nuclear fuel it needs for a research reactor rather than accept a UN-drafted plan to ship much of its uranium to Russia for further enrichment.
Friday's report quotes an unnamed source close to Iran's negotiating team as saying Tehran is waiting for a response to its proposal to buy nuclear fuel for the reactor, which is used to make radioactive medical isotopes.
Iran's response will come as a disappointment to the US, Russia and France, which all endorsed the UN plan Friday.
The three countries formulated the draft plan in three days of talks with Iran in Vienna that ended on Wednesday.
