FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Iran, for its part, is expected to demand formal recognition of its right to
enrich uranium and the lifting of a wide range of sanctions before it will
consider any steps of its own.
“We are ready on a voluntary basis to make a positive step if the other
party makes a similar step,” said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an
interview with a German newspaper. “We hope that we will make progress
in Moscow.”
On Friday, Saeed Jalili, the Iranian negotiator said: “We expect that
Iran’s right to nuclear technologies, including uranium enrichment, will be
recognised and respected.”
Western officials say that a successful meeting would see a serious response
from Iran to the offer on the table. But this opening proposal is
significantly more far-reaching than it might appear.
Iran has a much bigger stockpile of uranium enriched to the lower 3.5 per cent
purity needed for nuclear power stations. Ostensibly, the opening proposal
does not apply to this material. In practise, however, these reserves are
now being used for further processing to the 20 per cent level, supposedly
to fuel a civilian research reactor in Tehran.
Taking this step also brings Iran much closer to producing uranium at the 90
per cent purity needed for nuclear weapons. “Iran’s entire uranium
enrichment programme is now being devoted to producing 20 per cent enriched
uranium,” said Olli Heinonen, a former deputy head of the International
Atomic Energy Agency.
If Iran accepted the proposal on the table, it would effectively be agreeing
to freeze the main effort of its nuclear programme. Far from starting with
small steps, the current negotiations are demanding a very significant move
from Tehran at the very outset.
