All News about Iran Nuclear Program – The Iran nuclear deal and the country’s nuclear energy program have been a focus of media reports in Iran and the world since the onset of nuclear talks between Tehran and the P5+1, which resulted in the JCPOA in 2015, and its implementation in 2016. The “Nuclear” section of IFP News offers an up-to-date coverage of these reports.
The whole nuclear case of Iran was "manufactured" in order to ratchet up the pressure on Iran, said director of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali-Akbar Salehi.
This resolution goes far beyond the closure of the so-called PMD and officially nullifies the previous 12 resolutions of the governing board on Iran’s nuclear program, Zarif said.
The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Board of Governors unanimously approved a draft resolution which will close a case on the so-called possible military dimensions (PMD) in Tehran’s nuclear program.
A document has been signed on redesigning Arak Reactor and Iran is currently in talks with China for signing an agreement on modernizing the reactor, Araghchi further said.
Iran says the US Congress bill on Iranian nationals entering the US is in contradiction to both international free trade and basic human rights principles.
Iranian deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs says Iran is negotiating with P5+1 and with the European Union’s foreign policy coordinator on the recent legislation passed by the US House of Representatives.
The top diplomat said the draft resolution recently submitted to the IAEA explicitly says it has fully considered the IAEA chief's report on Iran’s PMD case and has closed it.
Iran believes that based on the IAEA final assessment, the Board of Governors should close the so-called PMD issue and pave the way for a new era of cooperation between Iran and the agency, says the Iranian deputy foreign minister.
Failure to act on the conditions that have emerged in the wake of the nuclear deal will either see the opportunity slip away or will turn it into a threat, Zarif said.
Shamkhani said that with the release of the Amano report there remains no legal or technical reason not to close the case of past and present issues regarding Iran’s nuclear activities.
Majid Takht-e Ravanchi and Abbas Araghchi, Iranian deputy foreign ministers, met with the European Union’s political Director Helga Schmid in the Austrian capital of Vienna on Sunday.
The report Amano is to release within days is only a first step. The next stage – a decision by the Board of Governors – is very important and sensitive.
FM Zarif has said, “We are certain that the past and present issues should be firmly closed in the Board of Governors’ resolution, which would likely be released over the next two to three weeks.”
Amano is planned to release a report on the Iranian nuclear program next week, and the agency’s Board of Governors will make a final decision in a meeting on December 15.
An Iranian deputy foreign minister has said that Iran will honor its JCPOA commitments if the West takes a reciprocal measure and fulfills its commitments.
Since two years ago, works in the nuclear facility have been done by the Iranian operator and the Russians have only supervised the activities of the Iranian experts,” Kamalvandi noted.
How to sign the document on redesigning Arak Reactor has yet to be agreed on, since all foreign ministers will not take part in upcoming Vienna talks, Foreign Minister Zarif said.
Dr. Hassan Hashemi has said that the Health Ministry will seize the opportunity in the post-sanctions era to upgrade the health services it renders to the public, asking foreign investors to invest in Iran’s health infrastructure.
Although some areas of JCPOA are far from perfect, exerting pressure on the government and the negotiators by some groups is quite unfair, Ayatollah Amoli Larijani said.
The deputy foreign minister noted that the IAEA Board of Governors will convene on December 15 to present a resolution that will put an end to the so-called possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program.
