Iran has said its uranium enrichment work was "irreversible", only days before a UN deadline for it to suspend the programme.
"Iran's uranium enrichment and nuclear research and development activities are irreversible," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said.
Iran announced this month it had enriched uranium for the first time, though this has not been verified.
The West believes it wants to make a nuclear weapon, but Iran denies this.
The United Nations Security Council has called on Iran to halt its uranium enrichment work by the end of this month.
The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is due to submit a report on whether Iran has complied with the UN call.
Mr Asefi told a weekly news conference: "If the report contains expert assessment, there will be nothing left to worry about.
"However, if the report comes out and somehow puts pressure on Iran or speaks with a language of threats, naturally Iran will not abandon its rights and it is prepared for all possible situations and has planned for it."
Iran insists its nuclear programme is purely civilian.
That's what you think...

Ping!
Maybe not reversible, but it can be set back 10,000 years or so.
No need to even send another Neville Chamberlain to negotiate an 'agreement' with this Persian Hitler. Apparently these mullahs are continuing on with their nuclear mission to bring back the Mahdi. What other plausible reason could their be for this lack of even negotiating with their fellow human ? Iran needed oil refineries much more then they needed nuclear power.
"Iran's uranium enrichment and nuclear research and development activities are irreversible,"
- So are the effects of TNW you stupid camel turd.
Terminatible- probably.
We are wasting time and getting nothing for it.
Pres. Bush is making a very bad decision by waiting, waiting, waiting on the UN which will do nothing to stop the Mullahs from getting nukes.
Stone age.

No obstacles to Tor-M1 air defense missile deliveries to Iran - Spassky
MOSCOW. April 21 (Interfax) - Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Spassky said that nothing stands in the way of the delivery of Russian Tor-M1 air defense systems to Iran.
"Currently nothing is preventing the fulfillment of our obligations in the area of military and technical cooperation with Iran. This deals with all the agreements made," Spassky told journalists on Friday in Moscow.
Yeah, right. Wanna bet?
One would think that Iran would have been paying better attention to what has been happening right next door in Iraq for the past 3 years. Iran fought Iraq for 8 years to a stalemate. We, on the other hand, reduced Iraq's forces to a quivering mass in a matter of just a few days. Iran just might want to ponder a while on that little factoid......
I think this means that we already have the capability to evade the Tor-M1 air defense missile with close to 100% success.
