'Moderate' Iran already won nuke talks with P5+1, Rouhani says

'Moderate' Iran already won nuke talks with P5+1, Rouhani says. (Taz).

Iranian president Hassan Rouhani believes that Iran has already won the nuclear talks with the P5+1 countries, the Iranian state IRINN TV reported Oct. 21.

“The fact that our representatives bargain the six world powers, argue with them and reject their ideas indicates the political power of Iranian people,” Rouhani said.

Rouhani went on to stress that “it is a victory for Iranian people.”

Rouhani previously said that Tehran and the P5+1 group of countries will reach a win-win agreement in nuclear talks.

“There is no doubt in Iran’s right to enrich uranium. The whole world has accepted the fact. But we just have disagreements on details,” Rouhani had said.

“There is no argument that Iran has the right to enrich uranium at the Natanz site. There is no argument in constructing a power plant in Arak, or Fordo site’s activities. The only issue is in details,” Iranian president said.

He said no one has any doubts that Iran has the right to obtain latest nuclear technologies, adding that the French president has declared his county’s willingness to provide modern nuclear technologies to Iran after the nuclear talks.

Iran and the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) held their latest round of talks in Vienna in mid-October to work out a final agreement aimed at ending the long-standing dispute over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Last November, Iran and the P5+1 clinched an interim nuclear accord, which took effect on Jan. 20 and expired six months later. However, the two sides agreed to extend their talks until Nov. 24 as they remained divided on a number of key issues.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi said on Oct. 20 that the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 countries have differences in all topics.

The list, essentially, rules out any agreement acceptable to the west, and particularly, Israel.
In September, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said Iran missed an August 25 deadline, by which time Tehran was obligated to clarify five issues connected to developing nuclear weapons.

The tweet comes days after a reports surfaced of a mysterious massive blast and fire which gutted parts of the Parchin nuclear facility, some 30 kilometers southeast of Tehran. Western analysts believe the site conducted high-explosives tests, connected with developing triggers for nuclear weapons.
Following are the 11 points:

• The “nuclear science movement should not come to a halt or even slow down.”

• The “Iranian delegation should insist on continuing nuclear research and development.”

• “No one has the right to bargain over nuclear achievements and no one will do so.”

• “Our delegation should not accept any impositions from the other side.”

• The “International Atomic Energy Agency should establish normal and non-extraordinary relations with Iran.”

• “Officials should have meetings and talks at the level of foreign minsters.”

• “Protecting an organization like Fordow which the enemy is not able to destroy and is inaccessible to them.”

• “Supplying the final needs of the country’s enrichment capacity, which is 190 thousand SWUS” (separative work units for uranium enrichment).

• “Basic needs of the country and some issues like the sanctions should not be tied to the nuclear talks.”

• “These talks are only centered on the nuclear issue and not anything else.”

• “As long as Americans continue their enmity and their hostile remarks about Iran, interactions with them will bear no practicality.”
