Norway backs Iran's nuclear program

Islam Times reports from Press TV: Store made the remarks at a meeting in Oslo with Iranian Ambassador Seyyed Hassan Rezvani.

The Norwegian minister of foreign affairs expressed hope that Iran and the P5+1 group would continue nuclear talks and find a peaceful solution.

The P5+1 group consists of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States -- plus Germany.

Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and thus has the right to enrich uranium to produce fuel.

And the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that Iran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted to nuclear weapons production.
