Iran, IAEA in 'very productive' nuclear talks


Vienna: The Un nuclear watchdog and Iran hailed Tuesday "gainful" and "useful" talks, in the most recent conceivable indication of Tehran's readiness to straightforwardness universal worries about its atomic work. Iran's agent to the International Atomic Energy Agency said he introduced another proposal - pointed at clearing up claims of past atomic weapons research - that he trusts will "open another part of participation". The two sides will meet again in Tehran on November 11, a couple of days after parallel converses with the P5+1 assembly of six planet forces - the five changeless parts of the Un Security Council in addition to Germany - in Geneva on November 7-8. The two-day gathering in Vienna was one of an arrangement of social occasions in the Austrian capital without much fanfare intended to arrange the basis for that Geneva gathering. "Iran displayed another proposal on viable measures as a valuable commitment to fortify collaboration and discourse with a perspective to anticipated determination of all extraordinary issues," the Iaea's new head assessor Tero Varjoranta said. No parts of the new proposal were given however Varjoranta called the talks "exceptionally gainful". Iran's agent Reza Najafi said they were "helpful". The Iaea conducts general examinations of Iran's atomic exercises however it likewise needs to test proof prescribing that preceding 2003, and potentially since, Iranian researchers directed trials pointed at advancing an atomic arms stockpile. Iran has constantly denied this, saying the Iaea's cases are dependent upon broken remote brainpower from any semblance of the Cia and Israel's Mossad that it gripes it has not even been permitted to see. Ten gatherings between Iran and the Iaea since a major report from the Un form in November 2011 have neglected to make any advancement, yet Hassan Rouhani's race as Iranian president in August has encouraged a change in tone. Rouhani has additionally made positive thinking for advancement in Iran's parallel banters with planet forces, which are centered progressively on Iran's current exercises, most prominently uranium improvement. Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif held a milestone gathering with Us Secretary of State John Kerry throughout the Un General Assembly in September, when Us President Barack Obama and Rouhani additionally imparted a noteworthy telephone call. Iran denies looking for or constantly having looked to manufacture the nuclear shell while relentlessly developing its atomic programme throughout the years in disobedience of numerous Un Security Council resolutions and assents. A few masters caution that Iran might one year from now arrive at "discriminating limit" - the focus at which it could, in principle, process sufficient weapons-review uranium for a shell before being recognized. In Geneva on October 15-16, Iran put forth to the P5+1 another suggestion that boss arbitrator Abbas Araqchi said could settle the debate "inside a year". However after numerous false day breaks in the long-running standoff, it stays to be seen if an arrangement that fulfills both sides is conceivable. Western nations need Iran to scale back its atomic exercises and to give the Iaea more stupendous examination rights, while Tehran, demanding its "right" to uranium improvement, needs authorizations alleviation. Viewing nearly is Israel, which is broadly accepted to have its own particular atomic armory and has declined to preclude besieging its most outstanding opponent, while cautioning against what it sees as a void "appeal hostile" by the Islamic republic. Mark Hibbs, investigator at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said soon after without much fanfare talks that Iran collaborating with the Iaea might "include certainty and force" to the Geneva talks. "As of recently an absence of assention between the Iaea and Iran has been an obstruction in transactions between Iran and the P5+1," Hibbs told Afp.

What events resulted in Iran agreeing to enriching (Uranium) outside its territories in Turkey

Of late European pressure has mounted to impose strict sanctions against Iran because of its nuclear programme, and these pressures have only intensified after the formation of the new government in Britain which has threatened military action.

Of course the British government on its own is not in such a position and so it aims to spur the US and thus raise the intensity of the Iranian issue. The British Foreign Secretary William Hague, in his first external trip visited the US just three days after assuming charge as foreign secretary where he stressed that as British foreign secretary, he chose to first visit the US to underline the special relationship with America. [Al-Sharq al-Awsat: 15.05.2010]. This was a reference to an earlier report issued by a group of members of the British House of Commons about the special relationship between them. Thus William Hague emphasised the importance of this relationship and Britain's need for it.

William Hague promised to pressurise Iran and expressed his agreement with the US position, he said: "His government will work to convince the European Union to adopt resolutions and strong measures against Iran." He added: "We are in agreement on the need for sending a strong and unified message regarding Iran's nuclear programme, and pass a UN Security Council resolution to that effect. After this the United Kingdom will play a fundamental role to ensure that the EU moves firmly to follow up on such a resolution." [Al-Sharq al-Awsat: 15.05.2010].

He demanded intensifying sanctions against Iran as a first step leading towards achieving global legitimacy for eventual military action, he said: "Though we have not ruled out military action in future, but we do not call for it." [Al-Sharq al-Awsat: 15.05.2010].

This is merely a negotiating pressure alone on Iran, rather it reflects the British position and it was evident during the riots that followed the presidential elections in Iran that Britain was trying to destabilise and eliminate the Iranian regime. Britain is now trying to build European consensus in cooperation with France and Germany and bring pressure upon Iran, and not to speak of the ‘Israeli' pressure in this regard. It so happened that America reached an agreement with Iran and dispatched the president of Brazil and the prime minister of Turkey to Iran to sign a Uranium exchange pact in order to reduce the impact of threats and sanctions card that was being raised by Europe, and especially by Britain, followed by France and ‘Israel'. Thus Iran signed the latest agreement with Brazil and Turkey which includes clauses that Iran agreed to send 1200Kgs of 5.30% low-enriched Uranium to Turkey in exchange for 120Kgs of 20% enriched Uranium which was required for a peaceful nuclear reactor located in Tehran. The essence of this agreement may have been proposed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as a way out of the deadlock in the negotiations between Iran and the five permanent members of the UNSC and Germany about a year back which then failed due to the issue of guarantees and trust.

Two new major clauses have meanwhile been added to this agreement regarding the issue of guarantees and trust, these are:

1: That the enrichment process will be carried out in Turkey (as a compromised place).

2: In case the negotiations concerning the compliance of this agreement with the Vienna group consisting of the US, France and the IAEA fail, then Turkey will be bound to return the Iranian low enriched Uranium meant for enrichment back to Iran.

Examining this agreement closely, we find that it was the US that encouraged Brazil and Turkey under its patronage. The French website (france24.com) reported: "The United States, Russia and France encouraged Brazilian President Lula's official visit to Tehran and considered it as the last chance to avoid sanctions." An Egyptian newspaper reported this news on 18th May, 2010 from an undisclosed source.

The story of this agreement began with the dinner invitation by the Iranian Foreign Minister Manoucher Mottaki to all the 15 members of the United Nations Security Council including the five big powers along with Turkey and Brazil who are non-permanent members of the UNSC. This dinner was on the sidelines of the follow up conference on nuclear non-proliferation.

This dinner was attended by America's deputy ambassador to the UN Alejandro Wolff and ambassadors and lower ranks representatives of all the 15 member nations.

News agencies quoted a US official saying before the dinner began: "The United States considers this dinner as a new opportunity for Iran to convince the Security Council that it is capable of compliying with its requirements."

The passing of this resolution means saving Iran at the last minute from sanctions that were otherwise certain to come, sanctions that were drafted by Europe along with the US, China, Russia and Germany. This opportunity allows Iran a minimum period of another three months before the sanctions become effective in case of any future disagreement.

There is no doubt that the conduct of Brazil and Turkey was at the US's behest because Brazil, which is the eighth largest economic power in the world, needs America to continue its economic growth, and it was just one month back that it signed a military pact with the US.

As for Turkey, its Prime Minister Erdogan clearly stated that on the issue of implementing the clauses of the agreement, he will coordinate with America directly. He later stated that whatever was achieved was through coordination with Washington, a similar statement also came from Brazil!

United States reliance upon Brazil and Turkey in its time of need will help it to evade sanctions against Iran which are being imposed at the behest of Europe and the Jewish state. On the other hand, this means that America is taking advantage of the non-permanent members of the UNSC at the cost of the permanent members.

In conclusion it can be said that the entry of Turkey and Brazil as new parties in the Iranian nuclear issue helps America to prevent any damage from the proposed severe sanctions against Iran, because the entry of Brazil and Turkey in signing the agreement means a clear cracking of the so-called global community's effort against Iran on this issue.

Further, this agreement forges a general demand for negotiations on its implementation, and this gives Iran breathing space from the pressures being mounted by the international community, especially Europe. Irrespective of whether this is implemented immediately or is delayed, the intensity of pressures on Iran is certainly weakened gradually. Similarly the US's embarrassment at the hands of Europe and the Jewish state who have been making attempts to make America take military action or at least place effective sanctions has subsided.
