TEHRAN: Iran is against sending most of its low-enriched uranium abroad for further processing in one go, Iranian state television reported on Tuesday.

English-language Press TV also said in a breaking news headline that Iran would give its response to a U.N.-drafted fuel deal by October 30. It did not give a source.

Another state television channel, al Alam, earlier said Iran would accept the framework of the draft agreement, but also demand important changes to it. A senior MP on Monday suggested Iran should gradually send its uranium abroad.
