Iran’s uranium enrichment will go on: Rouhani.(pressTv).
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says Tehran will move ahead with its uranium enrichment for its nuclear energy program whose peaceful nature has been proven to the world.“The world has admitted that Iran is, and will be, among the countries which have nuclear technology, including enrichment, and there is no doubt about this for anyone,” Rouhani said during a Wednesday cabinet meeting in Tehran.
Rouhani noted that Iran enriches uranium to the level that would meet the country’s needs and that Tehran was ready to be more transparent about the process to allay any concerns.
“We do not want to make anybody worried… today we are negotiating for a final agreement which is reachable within six months,” he added.
Rouhani’s remarks came after 83 US senators sent a letter to US President Barack Obama, urging him to reject Iran’s right to enrich uranium for peaceful nuclear energy program.
“We believe that Iran has no inherent right to enrichment under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,” the letter said.
Iran and the P5+1 group of countries wrapped up their latest round of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear energy program in Vienna on Wednesday, with both sides describing the negotiations as useful and constructive.
Iran and six powers – Russia, China, France, Britain, the US and Germany – reached a deal on November 24, 2013 in the Swiss city to set the stage for the settlement of the dispute over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program.
Under the Geneva deal, the six countries agreed to provide Iran with some sanctions relief in exchange for Iran agreeing to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities during a six-month period. It was also agreed that no nuclear-related sanctions would be imposed on Iran within the same timeframe.
The problem with Tehran’s nuclear program, has been its lack of transparency and its unwillingness to set the infamous Iranian pride aside long enough to focus on peaceful relations with the rest of the world. Its unwillingness to accept UN resolutions and wall-to-wall criticism on the nature of its nuclear program were coupled with an arrogant defiance and macho bravado that fuelled accusations and threats that seemed condescending and border-line paranoid to the West. And although President Rouhani’s smile spearheaded the rapprochement with the West, it is the never ending rants of the hardliners that remind us that Tehran might not yet have the humility needed to accept that if everyone says that there is a problem in the contested nuclear program, there simply is one.
ReplyDeleteNow, substitute the words “nuclear program” in this paragraph to “human rights problem” and notice that it rings true in the same manner. The problem with Tehran is not its nuclear program nor its human rights abuses – they are both symptoms of the main problem…the bigoted regime that places Islamic Revolutionary values above all else.
I agree, another 'problem' is the non existence of Khamenei's 'Nuclear Fatwa' nobody has ever seen it, nor is it registered among the list of Fatwa's by Khamenei.
