Iran Ready For Inspection Of Nuclear Facilities, But Wont Accept Coercion: President Pezeshkian

India.com3 days ago

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that his country is ready for inspection of its nuclear facilities, but does not accept coercion.
Pezeshkian made the remarks in a meeting, on Saturday, with Kazakhstan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu in the Iranian capital Tehran while commenting on the ongoing indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, according to a statement published on the website of his office.
He said that Iran's nuclear activities were completely "transparent," and the International Atomic Energy Agency had confirmed it repeatedly, Xinhua news agency reported.
"As we are ready for inspections, we consider as unacceptable any deprivation of nations of knowledge, technology and scientific achievements," he said, adding that Iran was always ready to listen to logical discourse but would never accept "coercion and bullying."
The Kazakh foreign minister, for his part, expressed his country's respect for Iran's "principled and logical" positions on peaceful nuclear activities.
Nurtleu submitted a written message from Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to Pezeshkian. Nurtleu said he hoped the message would "open a new chapter in the two countries' relations."
The two sides agreed to promote bilateral relations in all areas, according to the statement.
The Kazakh foreign minister arrived in Tehran on Saturday morning and was welcomed by his Iranian counterpart Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the official news agency IRNA reported.
They held a meeting on bilateral and regional issues later in the day and signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of diplomatic archives.
Iran and the United States have held five rounds of Oman-mediated indirect talks starting from April on Tehran's nuclear program and the lifting of US sanctions.

Russia Makes Iran Nuclear Offer for US Pact, Interfax Says

Russia proposed transferring Iran's excess nuclear material to its territory as part of efforts to assist Iran and the US in reaching an agreement over the Islamic Republic's atomic program, Interfax reported. 'We are ready to provide assistance to both Washington and Tehran, not only political assistance in the form of suggestions that could be used in the negotiating process, but also practical assistance,' Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Wednesday, according to the news service. 'For example, through the removal of surplus nuclear material made in Iran and adapting it for the production of reactor fuel.' US President Donald Trump said this month that Russia may take a role in negotiations with Iran after a phone conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin amid difficulties in the talks between Tehran and Washington. In 2015, Russia took delivery of a significant part of Iran's enriched uranium as part of the landmark nuclear accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreed to by Iran, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany. The International Atomic Energy Agency on May 31 reported that Iran's accumulation of highly enriched uranium rose by almost 50% to 409 kilograms over the last three months, which could quickly be enriched to form the core of about 10 nuclear bombs. Iran will suggest a framework agreement in nuclear talks with the US, a senior official said Tuesday, raising the prospect of an interim deal that could be followed by further negotiations. Tehran is working on a fresh proposal ahead of a sixth round of talks with Washington in Oman on Sunday that 'can be used as a basis for work,' Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency. Ryabkov seemed to back that idea, saying an interim arrangement is a potential solution. 'For our part, we believe that the moment has not been completely lost, and now it would be necessary to redouble efforts in order to reach — even if only a palliative and not a comprehensive — solution to the problems,' he told journalists in Sochi, Interfax said. Iran and the US have been engaged in negotiations since April in a bid to end an acrimonious years-long standoff over Tehran's nuclear program including through an easing of US sanctions and have so far had five rounds of talks mediated by Oman. Last week, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei criticized a US proposal for a nuclear deal and called American officials 'arrogant' for expecting the Islamic Republic to cease uranium enrichment.
