Tehran, Iran, Oct 31, SPA -- After two rounds of negotiations, Iran's top nuclear negotiator said Sunday the chance of anuclear compromise being reached with European nationsstands at about 50 percent and ruled out any indefinitesuspension of key nuclear enrichment activities. "I see the chance of a compromise before November as50-50," top nuclear negotiator Hossein Mousavian told TheAssociated Press in an exclusive interview Sunday. At the talks in Vienna, Austria, the key three Europeanpowers (Britain, Germany and France) offered Iran a trade deal and peaceful nuclear technology _ including a light-water research reactor _ in return for assurances that the country will stop uraniumenrichment indefinitely. "We have rejected two possibilities: cessation andunlimited suspension," said Mousavian, Iran's chiefdelegate to the IAEA. "We told the Europeans if your target is cessation, itwill be impossible. But we are flexible if your proposal isbalanced," he said.--SPA1435 Local Time 1135 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/214478
