Iran
Foreign Minister Zarif states unequivocally, “Iran has final say on Nuclear enrichment”
Agence France Presse
His
(F.M.Zarif) remarks appeared to conflict with the landmark nuclear deal struck
with world powers in Geneva last weekend.
TEHRAN “Iran will decide the level of uranium
enrichment in its nuclear program based on its energy and other civilian needs,”
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in remarks reported Saturday[20 Nov.].
His
remarks appeared to conflict with the landmark nuclear deal struck with world
powers in Geneva last weekend, which states that the enrichment level must be
mutually defined and agreed upon by both sides in further negotiations.
“Iran will decide the level of
enrichment according to its needs for different purposes,” Zarif said late Friday night,
according to the official IRNA news agency.
“Only details of the enrichment
activities are negotiable,” he said,
referring to a final accord with the United States, Britain, France, China and
Russia plus Germany-known as the P5+1 group — that the parties hope to
negotiate within a year.
The
interim agreement reached in Geneva set out trust-building measures by both
sides to be implemented in a six-month period, during which negotiations over
the final accord must begin.
Iran
agreed to freeze expansion of its nuclear activities — which Western powers and
Israel suspect mask military objectives despite repeated Iranian denials and to
cap enrichment of above low-level purity, including 20 percent.
Israel and
Western powers “hope” (What a ridiculous
word to use in International crucial negotiations, especially with a completely
unreliable, false partner!) the final accord will drastically scale back
Iran’s enrichment program, which is currently producing the low-enriched
uranium required for electricity and medical isotopes but could be ramped up to
produce the highly enriched uranium which is a key element of a nuclear weapon.
Iran has repeatedly said it will not seek nuclear weapons while insisting it has the “right” to enrich
uranium under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
“We have always said we will not allow
anyone to determine our needs,”
Zarif was quoted as saying by the Fars news agency. “But we are prepared to
negotiate about it.” (As the centrifuges
keep spinning)
According
to the interim deal, the final accord must “involve a mutually defined
enrichment program with mutually agreed parameters consistent with practical
needs.”
But it
also calls for limits “on scope and level of enrichment activities, capacity,
where it is carried out, and stocks of enriched uranium, for a period to be
agreed upon.”
