FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The disclosures came the day after the conclusion of the first direct talks
between Iran and the international community in years and will undermine
confidence that a breakthrough can be reached when negotiations resume in
Moscow on June 17-18.
The main bone of contention was – and will remain – whether or not the Islamic
republic meets demands to stop 20 per cent enrichment and hand over its
stockpile of uranium of that grade.
In exchange, Tehran expects some of the tough sanctions it is under to be
relaxed. Convinced Tehran is moving towards building a nuclear bomb, the US
and EU have targeted Iran’s oil exports and effectively barred the country
from international banking networks. The EU is due to ban all Iranian fuel
imports on July 1, shutting the door on almost one fifth of Iran’s market.
But the concessions offered by Baroness Ashton, the EU’s foreign policy chief
who is representing the international powers in the talks, are unlikely to
satisfy the Iranians, who have always maintained their nuclear programme is
only for peaceful purposes.
She reportedly offered measures such as supplying fuel for producing medical
isotopes, technical assistance, easing restrictions on aircraft parts.
Analysts said that Iran and the world powers cannot afford to leave Moscow
without clear progress, after what Trita Parsi, author of a recent book
about US diplomacy towards Iran called the “calculated failure” of the
Baghdad meeting.
Iran started enriching to 20 per cent last year, saying it needed the material
to fuel a research reactor and for medical purposes, though it already has
far more than it requires for either function.
Fordow is carved into a mountain, raising concerns that it would be impervious
to attack from Israel or the United States, which have not ruled out using
force as a last option if diplomacy fails to curb Iran’s nuclear ambition.
