NCRI – On Wednesday 27th of February, another round of negotiations between the Iranian regime and 5+1 powers in Almaty Kazakhstan ended without any sign of a breakthrough and they only agreed on more negotiations to take place at expert levels in March and again with 5+1 in April.
Following the talks, Jalili, regime’s high negotiator responded to a question by a state run news agency reiterating that the activities in the Nuclear site Fordo are totally legal and there is no justification to seize activities at this site.
The world powers have been insisting the Iranian regime must suspend enrichment of uranium at Fordo and do so under safeguards that would constrain its ability to quickly resume operations there.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance at a conference in Geneva which was held a few hours after the talks ended, warned against the Iranian regimes dangerous intentions in further prolonging the talks and said: “After 40 rounds of negotiations, is there any doubt that the mullahs’ regime is neither interested nor capable of an agreement about its nuclear programs? Mullahs’ regime cannot abandon its nuclear program despite suffering so many crises for it, because it is too weak to perform such maneuvers. The regime well knows that even one step backward would lead to a faster overthrow. Khamenei is after nuclear weapon. Acquiring nuclear weapon is intertwined with the existence of the regime and he would never give it up.”
Agence France Presse (AFP) reported that there was no sign of a breakthrough in the decade-long deadlock over Iran’s nuclear ambitions in the Kazakh city of Almaty.
AFP added that Baroness Ashton gave a hugely cautious assessment of the talks refusing to be drawn into a judgment of their success and saying she hoped for a positive response from the Iranians.
The talks end at a time that only a day before satellite images were published showing that regime’s Arak heavy-water plan is operational, raising alerts that it is trying to produce plutonium for a nuclear bomb, British Daily Telegraph claimed on Tuesday 26th February.
Heavy water is required in plutonium-producing reactors and that raises alarms that Tehran is seeking a second path to obtain the bomb.
McKenzie Intelligence Services told the paper that the images, commissioned from commercial satellite operators, suggested that the heavily-guarded facility was “operational”.
International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have been barred from the site since August 2011 and the regime has rebuffed appeals for information about the facility.
