“The heavy water sold is now on the way and would reach the US next month,” he said.

“We delivered a 32 tone consignment of heavy water to the US a few days ago. We attached an

amendment to our agreement. We delivered the consignment after we received the cash because of

their unreliability and concerns we had.”

According to ISNA, he said that the heavy water can be used for different purposes, including power plants and

research projects, and Iran has held talks with 3-4 countries.

Kamalvandi said that Iran included other countries in the negotiations because it could find alternative

countries in case US failed to buy heavy water since the US Congress has banned purchase from Iran.
