Iran ready to share nuclear fuel and cooperation in the nuclear field with the leading world powers, said today the country’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Speaking in television, he welcomed the proposal by the IAEA to send the uranium from the Islamic republic on the beneficiation abroad.
“Previously Western countries demanded an end to nuclear program. Now they agree to an exchange of nuclear fuel to cooperate in the construction of reactors and atomic power plants. They abandoned the policy of confrontation, they have embarked on a collaboration “- conveys the words of Iranian president PressTV. Ahmadinejad said that the international community to change attitudes towards Iran’s nuclear program.
The Iranian president added that Tehran hoped that countries that are parties to the talks, “meet their previous commitments.”
writes today Time, DQ agreement reached in Vienna last week, provides for the removal of Iran about 1200 kg of low enriched uranium (about three-quarters of all stocks of the country) to Russia until the end this year, where it should be doobogaschen, and then revised (with France) in fuel for the Tehran medical reactor.
Western governments, fearful of the fact that large stocks of enriched uranium would allow Iran to build an atomic bomb, emphasized that these quantities of fuel must be removed from the country at one time and the end of the year – then Тегеран еще год технически не сможет начать производство оружейных ядерных материалов. However, specify the browser, there is no evidence that Iran actually intends to build atomic weapons.
There is no need to explain that in terms of all of Iran is seen differently, the author continues the article. Tehran is not willing to give up its uranium enrichment program, which it claims is purely peaceful and designed to develop nuclear energy, to which Iran has the right as a signatory to the NPT. Iran in the outcome of the Vienna talks like, first of all, that they are de facto legitimize the uranium produced by them, bypassing the UN Security Council resolutions. At the same time, Iran does not trust some of the intermediaries – in particular France, which won the most rigid among the Western position. In other words, the publication explains, the West and Iran in the outcome of these negotiations, like the opposite things.
It is hard not to notice how different the motives of the parties affect their approaches to the agreement, the article cites Inopressa.ru. Tried unsuccessfully to eliminate France from the deal, Iran is now talking about a possible connection unbiased China, a major economic partner of the Islamic republic. Most likely, suggests Time, Iran proposed to transport uranium to Russia in small batches to ensure the sincerity of the Western partners. In turn, French and other Europeans have warned that such amendments could derail the agreement altogether.
How do I enter into Time, for Iran is now more important than his answer to convince Moscow and Beijing, rather than the Western powers, because without the support of Russia and China to impose sanctions against Iran will be difficult. So the challenge now is not the answer “no”, and ambiguous “yes, but …”.
