BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 7. Iran needs to continue negotiations in order to exclude accusations against its nuclear program, Iranian expert Abbas Salimi Namin told local media, Trend reports.
According to him, if the talks keep rolling in the right direction, the story on Iran will catch the media’s eye and sway public opinion around the globe. Everyone’s in the loop that Iran is playing its cards right with the nuclear program, primarily for energy and a few other avenues. Given this, the way to clear the air and put an end to the negative chatter about Iran is by having a heart-to-heart conversation.
Salimi mentioned that when it comes to getting their hands on an atomic bomb, Iran could pull it off without breaking a sweat these days. However, Iran’s game plan is not to get its hands on an atomic bomb. Iran has always kept its nose clean when it comes to the production of weapons of mass destruction.
The Iranian parliament’s 39 members have petitioned Iran’s Supreme National Security Council to review the country’s defense doctrine regarding the production of nuclear weapons.
Tensions have recently risen in the Middle East, mainly between Iran and Israel. Certain circles in Iran are mulling over various options in the face of these tensions.
To recall, in January 2016, Iran and the P5+1 group (the US, Russia, China, the UK, France, and Germany) implemented the Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action concerning Iran’s nuclear program. While, in May 2018, the US announced its withdrawal from the deal and reimposed sanctions on Iran.
By the end of 2020, the Iranian parliament decided to pursue a strategic plan in the nuclear sector to counter the sanctions, leading to a suspension of additional steps and the Additional Protocol as per the nuclear agreement, and consequently, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) faced a reduction in monitoring capabilities by 20–30 percent.
