Ex-US envoy to UN slams Iran nuke proposal as 'pure propaganda'

Former United States envoy to the United Nations John Bolton has said the latest nuclear proposal of Iran is a 'pure propaganda'.

According to the latest nuclear proposal, Iran said it would quit enriching uranium to 20 percent levels, but would still enrich uranium to 5 percent levels.

Breitbart.com quoted Bolton as saying that the time it takes to go from 20 percent enrichment to full weaponization is just two weeks, the Washington Times reports.

Bolton further added that Iran was still pursuing nuclear weapon development and that this deal, if accepted, would not halt the nation from continuing that path.

Iran has suggested in the proposal that it would let in international inspectors to test other nuclear sites, the report added.

Iran would also consider closing its underground Fordow enrichment site, which the international community was not even aware about until 2009.

Iran said it wanted removal of international economic sanctions in return.
