Call to urgently refer clerical regime’s nuclear file to UN Security Council
News agencies reported that the clerical regime in Iran has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency of its intention to convert 50 tons of uranium ore to uranium hexafluoride on November 26. The Iranian regime had previously converted another 37 tons of ore to the feedstock gas. This amount will enable the mullahs’ regime to make enough highly enriched uranium to develop 10 atomic bombs.
Based on the information of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, the clerical regime has in the past two years and during negotiations with the EU3, secretly constructed and assembled 5,000 centrifuges.
Mr. Mohammad Mohaddessin, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, described the latest steps by the religious and terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran, as a new violation of its international obligations. He said that in the absence of a firm international policy and hesitation in referring the clerical regime’s nuclear file to the Security Council, and attempts at reviving futile negotiations with the fundamentalist and terrorist mullahs, precious time has been granted to the regime to accelerate and intensify its efforts for nuclear weapons under the supervision of the Ministry of Defense and the Revolutionary Guards Corps.
Mr. Mohaddessin added that the clerical regime’s deceptive announcement of November 26, the day after the meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors, as the date of conversion of the new batch of uranium ore was a tactic to waste time and maneuver into another round of negotiations aimed at obstructing a board decision to refer the regime’s file to the Security Council. Mr. Mohaddessin stressed that each day a referral to the Security Council and the imposition of international sanctions against the regime is delayed, brings the region and the world closer to a catastrophe.
