TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran will not consider a proposal by Moscow to enrich uranium on Russian soil and ship it to Tehran if it means the country must cease all enrichment activity on its own soil, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry said Sunday
Iran has rejected a similar proposal in the past, and the latest rejection showed mounting international pressure has not changed the government's stance.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi told journalist Shirzad Bozorgmehr that his country would like to resolve its dispute with the international community "through dialogue" but insisted that Iran must continue its own nuclear research -- including enrichment on at least a small scale.
He said Iran would "not give in to international pressure to give up our rights to nuclear research."
The Russian proposal would require Iran to stop all enrichment activity, but Asefi said talks could continue to resolve the impasse. Earlier, Asefi was quoted by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) saying that "the situation has changed."
"We should wait and see how developments will go on among different states, including the five permanent members of the United Nations Security-Council," Asefi was quoted as saying by the state-run Islamic Republic news agency.

I can't believe this is the end... surely there is some tweaking the Russians can make to the proposal to give Teheran more time to build their Nukes.

Ahmadinejad is not interested in getting a diplomatic solution. His intention is to start a big conflict, since in his twisted mind he really believes that this will produce the hidden Imam. You can not argue with religious maniacs.
