Iran reaffirmed its position regarding its controversial uranium enrichment program. The Teheran leaders said Tuesday that any foreign demand to suspend the above mentioned program would cross its “red line”.

Iran restated its position after world powers said they will offer Teheran incentives if it stops the controversial nuclear work.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Reza Sheikh Attar underlined the fact that his country has said on more than one occasion that the uranium enrichment is “Iran's red line” and it’s a technology they must have, the IRNA news agency reported.

The world powers offered Iran - through EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana - the possibility of negotiating a package of technological and economic incentives in exchange for halting the nuclear program which the western powers fear it might enable the Middle Eastern nation to manufacture nuclear weapons.

Iran hasn’t officially responded to that offer, but it will be given "an expert examination” and a response will be given as soon as possible, said Sheikh Attar.

Iran continues to say that it has the right to enrich uranium and the atomic program is peaceful and has only industrial purposes.

The incentive package offered to Iran was agreed upon by the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany last month. Actually, it’s a revised version of one rejected by Iran in 2006.
