Leading articles:
JOMHURI-E ESLAMI in its editorial entitled “victory or retreat?” has expressed its disapproval of the Iran-Turkey-Brazil nuclear fuel deal and has described it as a retreat on the part of Iran. Iran had always announced that the nuclear fuel exchange should take place on the Iranian territory and the Supreme Leader had emphasized that the swap should be carried out simultaneously and only on the Iranian soil, but unfortunately the Tehran agreement has disregarded these principled policies. The writer believes when Iran has announced that it has the capability to produce 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel, it was not the right move to sign such an agreement that is tantamount to a full retreat. What is the difference between Turkey and other countries that administration officials don’t see any problem in conducting nuclear fuel swap there? In conclusion, the writer says despite the official propaganda campaign which is aimed at presenting the agreement as a great victory, in fact this agreement is a full retreat to the West’s pressure and the Islamic Republic should not give in to the Western countries’ illegitimate demands.
RESALAT in its editorial has welcomed the Tehran nuclear agreement and praised the administration for making efforts to reach such a deal. The fact that Iran has won the support of some emerging powers and has taken the excuses away from the Western powers is a considerable diplomatic achievement. The writer believes that Iran’s move has thrown the ball into the Western powers’ court and made the U.S., Britain and France, which had been poised to take punitive measures against Iran, tone down their policies. Elsewhere, the writer says it seems that the amount of fuel for the swap should be revised because the Tehran research reactor at most needs 40 kilograms of 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel and it is not necessary that Iran ships more than 400 kilograms of its LEU to Turkey.
KAYHAN in its editorial has commented that the Tehran nuclear agreement shows Iran’s strength and smartness. What was signed in Tehran was only a “declaration” and not an agreement and Iran has emphasized that the declaration should be approved by the Vienna Group before the implementation of its articles and it shows Iran’s smartness because it is a remote possibility that the Vienna Group approves this agreement. The writer believes that Iran will be the winner in any case. If they don’t approve the agreement, it will be revealed that they are only seeking to use the Iran nuclear issue as an excuse to put Iran under pressure and if they approve the agreement, which is not unlikely, in effect they have in fact dismissed their previous claims about Iran’s nuclear activities.
JAHAN-E SANAAT in its editorial has criticized executive officials for making contradictory remarks about the time for implementation of the subsidy reform plan. The administration officials have announced different dates for the start of the plan and this has confused the people. The writer says it seems that the administration itself does not know when it will start the plan or it is deliberately stalling for time to prepare the ground for carrying out the plan only for six months, a move which goes directly against the parliamentary approval.
