The regime Using Russian proposal to deceive and buy time
Insisting on uranium enrichment inside Iran, Cabinet Spokesman
Gholam-Hossein Elham said, “The government's stance is to have
enrichment domestically and the Russian proposal will be studied based
on this stance.”
“The principles already defined in the nuclear energy issue still hold true within the same framework,” he added.
Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani emphasized
last night, “We are seeking to have a complete nuclear fuel cycle in
Iran.” He referred to Russia’s proposal to enrich uranium on Russian
soil as a “complementary plan.” Larijani who is using the Russian plan
to buy time, said: “We don’t see the Russian proposal as mature… It has
serious problems… It’s not necessary to resolve all the world’s
problems in the first round of negotiations with this country. We have
patience…” Admitting that the regime was bent on continuing its nuclear
projects, he said, “Iran will not negotiate with Europe on aspects that
have no bearing on the negotiations such as research.”
Mohammad Mohaddessin, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the
National Council of Resistance of Iran, said, “These statements reveal
two realities. First, the clerical regime is in no way prepared to
abandon its ominous projects to acquire nuclear weapons. Second, the
regime is using the Russian proposal to deceive the world and prolong
negotiations to buy time in its pursuit of nuclear weapons.”
Mohaddessin added: “Today, nobody doubts the regime’s intent to achieve
the nuclear fuel cycle inside Iran. It is clear that the EU3
negotiations with Tehran have only provided time and further
opportunity to the regime in its campaign of deception and concealment.
Negotiations with the terrorist regime in Tehran must end and its
nuclear file should be referred to the United Nations Security Council
for the adoption of comprehensive sanctions.”
