Gus > India has urged “that Iran’s right to develop peaceful uses of nuclear energy for its development consistent with its international obligations and commitments should be respected”.

But it all depends on how Iran sees those "peaceful uses" and what it does about nuclear enrichment? While Iran persists with an enrichment program it will be considered as wanting to implement a weapons program. In my opinion, the only way out for all concerned would be for Iran to let Russia or SA do the enrichment, but Iran seems unwilling to do this.

>>Amid international concern that Iran has resumed nuclear activities it had promised to suspend, Russia proposed allowing Iran to operate civilian nuclear facilities as long as Russia and international inspectors took full control of the fuel. That would, in theory, enable Iran to satisfy its energy needs without giving it means to develop nuclear weapons.

The United States, Europe and China support the compromise as the best way to negotiate a resolution to the standoff. But Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's National Security Council, who also leads the nation's negotiating team, said, "The Russian proposal does not meet the needs of Iran's nuclear energy program," according to the IRNA news agency.<<

In the circumstances, therefore, one would be interested to see whether India would also view an Iranian enrichment program as "peaceful".
