Iran Has Removed Monitoring Devices, Tehran’s Nuclear Agency Spox Says
During a radio interview today, the Iranian regime’s spokesperson of the Atomic Energy Agency Behrooz Kamalvandi said: “Iran has removed 27 cameras and a series of equipment, including online enrichment measurement devices. If the other JCPOA signatories return to their commitments, it is possible that these devices and cameras will start working again.”
Responding to IAEA’s remaining questions, Kamalvandi said: “These demands are considered excessive because these demands are not impliable due to sanctions. According to the parliamentary law for the ‘Cancellation of Sanctions and Protection of the Interests of the Iranian Nation’, which was approved by the Islamic Council, the IAEA is supposed to have minimum supervision and safeguards. Of course, if the West withdraws the sanctions and returns to its commitments, Iran will also return to the commitments it accepted under the JCPOA.”
Pushing for Concessions, Tehran Plays with the Nuke Card Again
While world powers are waiting to learn about the Iranian regime’s response to Washington’s terms on the nuclear deal, the Iranian regime’s former nuclear chief resorted to belligerent rhetoric to scare off the world with uranium enrichment above 90% and possessing plutonium to force the International Atomic Energy Agency to close the regime’s PMD case.
Today, Fereydoun Abbasi, former head of the Atomic Energy Agency and a current member of the parliament’s Energy Commission told the state-run Daneshjoo news agency: “The negotiating team must stand firm until the sanctions are lifted. Also, not only safeguard issues must be concluded, but in general, Iran’s case in the IAEA should be completely closed. We have to be considered an ordinary member and must be excluded from accusatory inspections. The opposing parties should be afraid of plutonium in Iran, but we want plutonium for energy production, not weapons. Enriched uranium should not be at the level of 60%, we should enrich it above 90%, both for scientific research and for making fuel for nuclear propellants for submarines. We should do these publicly and under the agency’s supervision.”

Last Year, Air Pollution Killed 21,000 people in Iran- Official
At a press conference on August 29, Dariush Golalizadeh, the head of the regime’s Air and Climate Change Center of the Environmental Protection Organization, said: “According to the report of the Ministry of Health, last year, in 27 polluted cities of the country, about 21,000 deaths were attributed to air pollution. These were caused by suspended particles of two and a half microns and they caused 11 billion dollars in damage to the country. About 6,000 deaths have been reported in Tehran.”
State-run Newspaper Sounds the Alarm About Iranian Doctors Fleeing the Country
In an article that was published today, the state-run newspaper Sharq wrote: “According to the statistics given by the Directorate of the Medical Council, no one has registered for the Department of cardiac surgery this year, which actually required 18 people. For a very important field such as pediatric surgery, we only had two graduates. You should add this to the high volume of doctors who leave Iran and the very low quality of students who enter this field with the help of multiple rations. The result will be nothing but a huge disaster in the treatment system of this country. When doctors and medical staff are insulted day and night, when their rights are violated, their earnings are small and very late, when a large group of them have problems in their daily livelihood, when the country’s tax organization is only looking for which doctor does not have a POS machine, and when you hear the news about the assault of a doctor every day, the consequences are not surprising. When a person’s dignity is violated, why should he or she stay in this country? It is quite obvious that they abandon Iran.”
