FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Abbas Araqchi noted on Saturday that that the Western countries and the P5+1 are waiting for the economic sanctions to work on Iran and this is a great misunderstanding on their side because no matter how long they wait, sanctions will not be successful and Iran will become even stronger.
“The passage of time is on our side and makes the Islamic Republic stronger; therefore, they [P5+1 member states] can wait as long as they want. We are in no hurry,” he added.
Araqchi stated that Iran is serious about its nuclear energy program and believes that all sides should respect one another’s red lines.
“We say that every side has its own red lines. Let’s respect each other’s red lines. We say that our rights should be recognized according to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and international rules,” Araqchi said.
The Iranian diplomat noted that it is possible for Iran and the P5+1 — the US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China — to reach an agreement, but the P5+1 are not cooperating and offer unrealistic and illogical suggestions which shows lack of political determination among its six members.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran rejects the allegations, arguing that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency it is entitled to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
On August 30, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon asserted Iran’s right to use nuclear energy for peaceful objectives, expressing hope that Tehran and the P5+1 would hold positive talks in the future.
