FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “Although Iran has always emphasized [the priority] of technical issues and has never taken a political approach [to nuclear talks], some [countries], most notably the Zionist regime [of Israel], the US and certain European leaders aim to use the agency as a political tool to achieve their goal,” Hossein Sheikholeslam said on Tuesday.
The diplomat, who is adviser to Iran’s Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani on international affairs, added that Iran has had the highest level of cooperation with IAEA officials and inspectors, Majlis official news agency, ICANA, reported.
“Frequent inspections of Iran’s nuclear sites by [IAEA] inspectors confirm Islamic Republic’s honest cooperation with the agency. However, some [countries] are trying…to set the direction of the agency’s reports in line with their own policies and interests,” he added.
Sheikholeslam further stated that despite Iran’s cooperation, enemies of the country are trying to show that the relations between Tehran and the agency are not normal.
He added that by providing false information and under the influence of anti-Iranian terrorist groups such as Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), these countries are trying to influence the agency’s reports on Iran’s nuclear program and claim that it is not peaceful.
The Iranian diplomat said the same countries are trying to influence Iran’s multifaceted talks with the group P5+1 – comprising the US, the UK, France, China, Russia and Germany.
Sheikholeslam also advised the member states of the P5+1 to stay away from political propaganda hype in the forthcoming negotiations with Iran and only focus on technical issues.
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili sent a letter to European Union’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, on February 15, saying that Tehran is ready to resume multifaceted negotiations with the P5+1.
Jalili’s letter was in response to a letter he had received from Ashton on October 21, 2011, in which the EU foreign policy chief said if Iran were ready to discuss concrete confidence-building measures without preconditions, the P5+1 “would be willing to agree on a next meeting within the coming weeks at a mutually convenient venue.”
Iran and the P5+1 held two rounds of multifaceted talks in Geneva in December 2010 and in the Turkish city of Istanbul in January 2011.
While Tehran says it is ready to continue the talks based on common grounds, it has stressed that it will not give up any of its rights.
