Iran to check cameras before installation at nuclear site

“Iran conditioned the replacement of damaged cameras at Karaj installations on three things, namely ‘conducting a judicial-security investigation into the act of sabotage which took place’, ‘the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) condemning the act of sabotage,’ and ‘Iran carrying out technical-security examinations on the new cameras before they are installed,’” said AEOI Spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi.

He was referring to the sabotage attack on the site last June, Tehran says was carried out by Israel. 

“Iran’s voluntary issuance of a permit to replace these cameras was not within the framework of a new agreement, but came after these three preconditions were met,” he explained.

“Iran is to begin the process of technical-security checks on the cameras on Sunday, December 19, 2021,” he added.

“Iran-IAEA talks which took place between Mr. Eslami and Rafael Grossi had nothing to do with the [Vienna] negotiations and were just ordinary talks within the framework of the current issues between the two sides; so, the claim that Iran did that under pressure is not true,” he said.

“From the very beginning, we hadn’t said that we would allow the cameras to be installed; rather, we had subjected it to the fulfillment of three preconditions,” said the spokesman.

“As a technical institution, the AEOI is engaged in ongoing interactions with the IAEA within the framework of the Safeguards Agreement, and these interactions should not be politicized,” said Kamalvandi.

He said the West and the Israeli regime launch media campaigns and psychological warfare to politicize Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA.

“Unfortunately, there are inclinations within the IAEA in this regard, too,” he said.

“The key solution is to form an all-encompassing government with the participation of all Afghan groups, and this message should be reflected, with one voice, to the international community and the temporary ruling elite in this country,” said Hossein Amir Abdollahian upon arrival in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad early Sunday.

He then touched upon a foreign ministerial meeting of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) to be held in Islamabad.

“The extraordinary foreign ministerial meeting of the OIC mainly focuses on Afghanistan developments on which, and on whose relevant events Iran has some concerns,” the top diplomat added.

He said growing terrorism and the increasing number of Afghan migrants and refugees, who have been flowing into Iran over the past months, are among Iran’s concerns.

He expressed hope the OIC conference will be able to unanimously send a message to the international community and the transitional ruling authority with regards to the necessity of the establishment of an all-inclusive government in Afghanistan.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Amir Abdollahian referred to close and cordial relations between Iran and Pakistan, saying the administration of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi pays due regard to relations with neighboring countries, including Pakistan.

“The thirteenth administration has a clear plan and road map for further enhancement of ties with Pakistan,” he added.

Amir Abdollahian has arrived in Islamabad to attend an extraordinary foreign ministerial meeting of the OIC, with Afghanistan top of the agenda.

The director general of Golestan Environmental Protection Organization said the topographic location of the region and thick smoke from the fire have made it difficult for the firefighters and two IRGC aerospace helicopters to battle the flames in the Ghoshecheshmeh area of Golestan National Park.

Mohammad Reza Kanani added that since Wednesday, due to weather conditions, a sharp decrease in humidity and wind gusts, four fires have broken out in Golestan National Park.
There are no reports of animal casualties from the fires.

Golestan has 452,185 hectares of forest. According to experts, fire, destruction, land grabs and drought are among the challenges facing the forests of northern Iran, and special measures must be taken to address these problems of this valuable ecosystem.

The total fatalities now stand at 131,033. Most Covid deaths of the past 24 hours happened in Tehran where 6 people succumbed to the disease. Currently, no cities are marked red or orange in Iran in terms of risk from the Coronavirus while 395 cities and towns are blue, which shows the lowest level of danger.

Following the fifth wave of Covid, Iran has seen a downward trend in deaths and infections. This has been attributed to the government’s measures to import huge quantities of Covid vaccine and also domestic production of jabs.

A total of 112,819,927 doses of vaccine have been administered in Iran since a countrywide vaccination campaign started last year.

Despite the decline in the number of deaths and new cases, authorities are warning about the Omicran variant of Covid, saying failure to observe health protocols could reverse the downward trend.

The top diplomat added none of the negotiators was trying to undermine the first six round of negotiations.

Ulyanov said negotiators showed a respectful approach toward the new elements in Iran’s position.

“This was very important and we achieved it,” he said.

He added the next round of negotiations will be held in late December or early January next year, though no exact date has been set, yet.

“Some see their interests at stake as the negotiations make progress, and others may want to disregard the principles, ideals, or interests of the country and the nation in order to expedite reaching an outcome in the negotiations. Both are wrong ideas and negotiators should not give in to either,” the daily wrote in an opinion piece.

The newspaper says given the comments and actions of officials in charge of the country’s foreign policy and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran in recent days, it appears that they are preparing the ground for reaching an agreement in Vienna in coordination with the decision-makers and officials responsible for the talks in Vienna.

Iran’s voluntary move to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to install cameras in the Karaj facility and the comments of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian about the lifting of sanctions are two examples of such actions and comments, the daily noted.

Now that the negotiating team is determined to resolve the disputes, revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and lift the sanctions with the full support of the establishment, everyone should support the negotiators, the Jomhouri-e Eslami wrote.

The establishment has decided to resolve the existing differences, to revive the JCPOA and to lift the sanctions while protecting Iran’s principles, ideals, and national interests, the daily added.

The Jomhouri-e Eslami described the opponents of  JCPOA revival inside Iran as businessmen who benefit from anti-Iran sanctions, and foreign opponents of the JCPOA as those opposed to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
