TEHRAN – The United States’ confrontational course against the Tehran nuclear declaration is doomed to failure, MP Kazem Jalali of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy has stated.
The Tehran nuclear declaration was a great trust building measure, and this move by Iran has been well perceived by the international community, Jalali told the Mehr News Agency on Wednesday.If a sanctions resolution is issued against the Islamic Republic at the United Nations Security Council, it will not have much of an impact, and therefore the United States will lose in its efforts to undermine the agreement, he added.
Jalali pointed out that Tehran has done its end of the bargain and submitted the nuclear fuel swap letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency, adding it was now the Vienna Group (USA, Russia, France) and the IAEA’s turn to take the preliminary practical steps for the fuel exchange.
“Right now the ball is in their court. They should seize this opportunity and prepare the ground for the fuel swap” the parliamentary committee spokesman stated.
Tehran declaration a challenge to global arrogance Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi stated on Wednesday in Kerman that the Tehran declaration poses a challenge to the global arrogance.
The Islamic Republic’s joint declaration with Turkey and Brazil challenged the global arrogance, while presenting a unique opportunity for Iran, the ISNA news agency quoted the minister as saying.
On the sidelines of the Group of 15 summit in Tehran on May 17, Iran, Turkey, and Brazil issued a declaration, according to which Iran would ship 1200 kilograms of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey to be exchanged for 120 kilograms of 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel to power the Tehran research reactor, which produces radioisotopes for cancer treatment
