Iran rejects the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency for allegedly increasing enriched uranium stock Nuclear weapons news

Iran has rejected a report from the United Nations World Nuclear Agency claiming that Tehran has increased its fertilized stocks significantly, near uranium at the arms level by 50 percent in the past three months.

Iran said on Saturday that the accusation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (International Atomic Energy Agency) was “a political drive and repetition of baseless accusations.”

All of this comes at a time when negotiations of nuclear deals between the United States and Iran said, where Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragshi said that his country would respond to “elements of an American proposal” who had presented his Omani counterpart, Badr Al -Busadi, during a short visit to Tehran on Saturday.

Araghchi said the proposal “will be answered in line with national principles, interests and the rights of the people of Iran.”

Tehran insists on that Nuclear program It is for peaceful purposes only.

As of May 17, the International Atomic Energy Agency said that Iran collected 408.6 kg (900.8 pounds) of uranium, fertilizing to 60 percent-the only non-nuclear weapons country that is doing so, according to the United Nations Agency-and its store increased by approximately to 133.8 kg since its last report in February.

The secret report on a large scale and secret, which was seen by many news agencies, said that Iran has carried out secret nuclear activities with materials that did not announce the International Atomic Energy Agency in three locations that have been under investigation for a long time, describing it as a “serious concern” and Tehran’s warning to change its course.

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the report, saying that the agency used “false documents provided by the Zionist regime (Israel)” and repeated “biased and non -harsh accusations.”

She said that Iran refutes allegations of unannounced nuclear sites or activities, confirming that it has instead cooperated with the agency in providing all necessary access to the alleged sites.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran, with the expression of the publication of this report, which was prepared for political purposes by pressure on the agency, expresses his clear objection to its content,” the statement added.

Araghchi has a long time again confirmed that Tehran is “unacceptable” nuclear weapons.

“If the issue is nuclear weapons, yes, we also consider this type of weapons unacceptable,” Aragchchi, the main negotiator of Iran in Nuclear talks With the United States, he said in a televised speech. “We agree with them on this issue.”

“Both sides build leverage”

However, the report, which was requested by the Council of 35 Governors at the International Atomic Energy Agency in November, will be allowed to be paid by the United States, Britain, France and Germany to declare Iran in violation of its obligations other than spreading.

On Friday, US President Donald Trump said Iran “could not have a nuclear weapon.”

“They do not want to explode. They prefer to hold a deal,” Trump said.

In 2015, Iran reached a deal with the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, France, Russia, China and the European Union, known as the joint comprehensive work plan. It included lifting some sanctions on Tehran against the boundaries of the nuclear development program.

But in 2018, US President Trump unilaterally resigned from the agreement and re -imposed harsh sanctions. Then Tehran was rebuilt in the enriched uranium stocks.

In December of last year, the International Atomic Energy Agency said that Iran was rapidly enriching uranium to 60 percent of purity, approaching the 90 percent threshold for materials at the level of weapons.

Western countries say that such intensive enrichment should not be part of a civil nuclear program, but Iran insists that it does not develop weapons.

Hamed Musafi, a professor of political science at Tehran University, told Al -Jazeera that the results of the International Atomic Energy Agency can indicate a potential negotiation tool for Iran during its continuous nuclear talks with the United States.

He said: “I think that both sides are trying to build a lever of finance against the other side. From the Iranian perspective, progress in the nuclear program will take advantage of the negotiating table with the Americans.”

On the other hand, he said, the United States can threaten more sanctions and may also refer to the Iranian issue to the United Nations Security Council for its breach of the non -proliferation agreement in 2006. However, he added that Iran did not take the “political decision” to build a possible bomb.

Mossavi said: “Enriching up to 60 percent (uranium) – from the Iranian perspective – is a type of leverage against Americans to lift the sanctions,” said Mossafi.
