Iran's Arak nuclear facility[/caption]The results of a new poll conducted online by Press TV website show that an overwhelming majority of respondents across the world believe the West must respect Irans right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.
The results come as Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - Britain, China, France, Russia and the US - plus Germany are set to hold a new round of nuclear talks in Geneva, Switzerland, on November 7-8.
According to a source close to the Iranian nuclear negotiating team, Iran will be open to talks on the level of enrichment and the amount of uranium to be enriched, but it will not agree to ship out its nuclear material.
Iran and the six world powers wrapped up two days of nuclear talks in Geneva on October 16. Both sides describe the talks as fruitful.
The US, Israel and some of their allies claim that Iran is pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear program, with Washington and the European Union using the allegation as a pretext to impose illegal sanctions on Iran.
Tehran strongly rejects the claim over its nuclear activities, maintaining that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
In addition, various reports by the IAEA verify that there has been no evidence of diversion in Iran's nuclear material and activities towards non-civilian objectives.
