Roundup: Iran says no to uranium enrichment suspension

Iran has stood firm on its position of rejecting the suspension of uranium enrichment, just two days ahead of its formal response to the six-nation nuclear package, due on Tuesday.

An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Sunday that the country would not suspend uranium enrichment and would offer a multi-dimensional response to the six-nation package aimed at solving the Iranian nuclear issue.

"The issue of suspension ... is not on the agenda of the Islamic Republic of Iran," Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters in his weekly press conference.

He also reiterated Iran's rejection to a UN Security Council resolution that demands suspension of its uranium enrichment by Aug. 31.
