Albright remarks indicate likely acceptance of Iran's nuclear programs by EU
Speaking to FNA's foreign policy desk, member of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Javad Jahangirzadeh stressed that recent remarks by the former U.S. Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, unveiled the discrepancies that exist among the U.S., EU, China and Russia.
"Since the very beginning of the case, the United States intended to forge a consensus among the UNSC members against Iran's nuclear programs, but Albright's remarks speak of U.S. failure in achieving its goal," he stressed. The MP further added that the existing differences of China and Russia with the western countries have paved the ground for Iran's logic to overcome that of the U.S.
"That the UN Security Council members share no absolute or solid view point about the case has increased the likelihood for the acceptance of Iran's nuclear project by the said countries," Jahangirzadeh stated. The U.S. Secretary of State in Clinton's administration, Madeline Albright said in an interview with the German Spiegel that almost all the relevant parties believe that Iran should be allowed to access nuclear technology.
"Now the question is if Iran should be allowed to have its enrichment research programs or it should be allowed to access industrial enrichment as well. The U.S. is not willing to accept either one, while Europeans are ready to accept Iran's enrichment at a research level and the Russians are even prepared to accept Iran's industrial enrichment activities."
The above-mentioned proves that the package of proposals which was said to have been proposed by the so called 5+1 group must be considered as an offer by 3+1, because Russia, as Albright has put it, is presently prepared to accept Iran's enrichment activities at an industrial level, while the EU is ready to accept Iran's research activities, meaning that the Europeans' view point is in compliance with Iran's legitimate rights.
Albright has also stressed, "Personally, I'd prefer nothing for Iran, but this is a truly difficult thing to do, because they (Iran) is a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and it is really hard to ask them no to have a peaceful nuclear program."
Meantime, the Iranian parliament member referred to the West's allegations about a global demand urging Iran to suspend her nuclear activities and stressed that his country will never accept to halt its nuclear programs, reiterating, "No concessions may replace Iran's right of access to enrichment technology and thus, we insist on our nuclear stances forever."
