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.
Iran is going to take on an active role in the world’s energy sector in parallel with its new upgraded position in the international relations, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi said.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaberi-Ansari said inauguration of missile systems is part of Iran's defensive program and is not related to Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Abbas Araqchi said that missile test is conspicuously different from Joint comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and that it never runs against the Tehran-5+1 nuclear deal.
Larijani said that Iran honors its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and tries to make sure that the deal is carried out properly.
Ali Shamkhani says the US cannot talk about trust building, and at the same time impose hostile restrictions on Iran or pass laws to illegally steal the Iranian nation’s assets.
Although it is not an important issue, it is aimed at harassment and is against the paragraphs 28 and 29 of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)," Araghchi said.
In letters to his counterparts at the European Parliament and the parliaments of France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China, Alaeddin Boroujerdi said the new US law is “unfair and discriminatory” in nature.
Alef, a principlist Iranian news website, has suggested that the eleventh government’s possible tolerance of the US breach of the Iran nuclear deal is unacceptable.
If the law takes effect exactly as approved by the US Congress, it would amount to the breach of JCPOA, Zarif told a joint press conference with his Mongolian counterpart.
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.
