Tehran, Iran, Sept 19, SPA -- Iran said Sunday that demands from the U.N. atomic watchdog that it freeze all uranium enrichment work that can be used for nuclear weapons were "illegal," but left open the possibility it was ready to negotiate onthe issue. Hasan Rowhani, Iran's top nuclear negotiator spoke a day after the IAEA governing board issued its demands and said it would judge Tehran's compliance in two months. "We are committed to the suspension of actual enrichmentbut we have no decision to expand the suspension," Rowhanisaid. "This demand is illegal and does not put anyobligation on Iran. The IAEA board of governors has noright to make such a suspension obligatory for anycountry."--SPA1412 Local Time 1112 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/202959
