Reporter: What will the scope of the (UCF) activity in Esfahan be at the beginning? Will it have full or partial capacity?
Asefi: What do you care?
Female reporter: I’ll repeat my colleague’s question...
Asefi: Go ahead, please...
Female reporter:... regarding the UCF in Esfahan. Will its activity start at full or partial capacity, in order to show that the suspension...
Asefi: He asked, and I already said it is of no interest to you.
Female reporter: Please tell us, it might interest us.
Asefi: No. I know it is of no interest to you.
Reporter: Regarding the IAEA inspectors stationed in Tehran, when the UCF activity starts in Esfahan, will the inspectors be there, or did the Iranians plan a special ceremony to mark the start of activity?
Asefi: No. If by “special ceremony” you mean handing out cake and candy, then we have no such thing.
