FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In a written interview with Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) on Saturday 28 April, an FCO spokesperson said Britain “would look forward to the next round of talks” with Iran in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
“We have always said that Iran has a right to a civil nuclear power programme under the terms of the NPT. But UNSCRs [UN Security Council resolutions] make clear that Iran should suspend all proliferation sensitive activity, including enrichment. Our position is in line with UN Security Council resolutions that enrichment must stop,” said the FCO spokesperson.
The call for suspending uranium enrichment comes as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which Iranian officials say should form the basis of any negotiation, gives an “inalienable right” to Iran, as a member of NPT, to enrich uranium.
“Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with Articles I and II of this Treaty,” reads article IV of the NPT.
Earlier this month, Britain’s Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt claimed that Britain wishes “to support an Iranian drive to civil nuclear power.”
Referring to the Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi’s comments that Iran’s nuclear program is in the Iranian people’s best interests, he said “It’s not for the United Kingdom to say what’s in the Iranian people’s best interest.”
Furthermore, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph on 23 January 2012, UK Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency from 2001 to 2006, Peter Jenkins, said, “Our objective was to put a stop to all enrichment in Iran. That has remained the West’s aim ever since.”
