NCRI – The negotiations between six world powers and the Iranian regime would continue on November 11 in Muscat, the capital of Oman, according senior Iranian negotiator.
The talks would be held after the trilateral meeting on November 9-10 between the Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Former EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton in Muscat, state-run IRNA news agency quoted Abbas Araqchi as saying on Sunday.
The Iranian regime’s uranium enrichment and the international sanctions imposed on the regime will be the topic of discussions in the trilateral meeting, Araqchi added.
Menwhile, the head of the United Nations nuclear inspection organization declared Friday that the Iranian regime had stopped answering the agency’s questions about suspected past efforts to design the components of a bomb.
The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Yukiya Amano, said commitments Iran had made to provide more information on what he called “possible military dimensions” had not been carried out.
Director General Yukiya Amano , who spoke at the Brookings Institute in Washington, offered a summary of the agency’s dealings with Iran on its nuclear program since August 2002, when it was first revealed by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) that the Iranian regime was building a secret underground nuclear facility in Natanz.
Speaking about the agency’s investigation into ‘possible military dimension’ of Iran’s nuclear program Amano said: “Iran has to clarify these issues because there is broadly credible information indicating that it engaged in activities of this nature.”
“In other words,” he added, “Iran has a case to answer.”
The IAEA has still not been able to gather enough concrete evidence to convince the international community that Iranian regime is not using its nuclear material to make weapons.
Yukiya Amano said the investigation into the Iranian regime’s nuclear program for now is stalled.
He said Iran needs to clarify some of its past nuclear work and implement the Additional Protocol to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) that allows snap inspections of its nuclear facilities and this is an “essential” step for the IAEA to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear materials and activities in the country.
“We cannot provide assurance that all material in Iran is for peaceful purposes,” Amano said.
“In order to provide that assurance, Iran needs to clarify issues related to possible military dimension and implement the additional protocol.”
