Senior Iranian Cleric Warns Obama "it(US) will take the wish for inking an agreement with Iran to the grave". (Fars).
Tehran's Provisional Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kerman warned US President Barack Obama of Iran's reaction to any violation of Washington's undertakings within the framework of the Lausanne understanding signed by Tehran and the world powers.
Addressing a large and fervent congregation of people on Tehran University campus on Friday, Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani underlined the Iranian nation's vigilance against the enemies' plots, and advised the American officials to leave their tricky behavior and try to save the little reputation left for them.
Responding to Obama's remarks that if Iran violated its undertakings even for an inch, all lifted sanctions would snap back again, he said Washington should know that if it violates its undertakings even an iota, "it will take the wish for inking an agreement with Iran to the grave".
His remarks came after a senior Iranian negotiator announced that representatives of Tehran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) would kick start drafting a final nuclear agreement next Tuesday.
"Next Tuesday, the new trend and working on the draft (agreement) will kick start to get it ready for July 1, and we should prepare the generalities and details of that," Director General for Political Affairs at the Iranian Foreign Ministry and nuclear negotiator Hamid Baeidinejad said in Tehran on Tuesday night in a meeting with a number of Iranian university professors and lawyers.
After nine days of hard work in Lausanne, Switzerland, Iran and the G5+1 reached an understanding on April 2 which laid the ground for them to start drafting the final nuclear deal over Tehran's nuclear energy program ahead of a July 1 deadline.
Reading out a joint statement at a press conference with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini in Lausanne on April 2, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said according to the agreement, all the US, EU and UN Security Council sanctions against Iran would be lifted under the final deal.
"Our decision today that will be the agreed base for the final text of the Joint Plan of Action (the final deal) is of vital importance," Zarif said, reading the joint statement at the press conference.
"Now we can start drafting the final agreement and its annexations by relying on the solutions achieved in the last few days," he said after eight days of marathon talks with negotiators from the six world powers.
"As Iran continues its peaceful nuclear program, the degree and capacity of its enrichment and the size of its (enriched uranium) stockpile will be limited for specific periods and Natanz will be the only enrichment center in Iran. Nuclear enrichment R&D on centrifuge machines in Iran will be conducted on the basis of an agreed timeline and level."
Zarif said Fordo would turn from a nuclear enrichment plant to a nuclear, physics and technological center, where Iran will receive international cooperation. Read the full story here.
