President: Enrichment Among Iran’s Inalienable Rights

Tehran, Nov 27, IRNA –President Hassan Rouhani assured the Iranian nation that Iran’s nuclear red-lines have been observed by the Iranian negotiating team in the recent Geneva talks. “We broke the structure of sanctions,” President Rouhani said in a televised interview while reporting on his administration’s performance in the past 100 days. “Uranium enrichment is our clear right and it is also our red line,” the Iranian president said. President Rouhani pointed to the recent agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany), and said, “The centrifuges are functioning now and the people’s economic conditions will also get better.” Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- the United States, Britain, Russia, France and China -- plus Germany, sealed an interim deal in Geneva on Sunday morning to pave the way for the full resolution of the West’s decade-old dispute with Iran over the country’s nuclear energy program. In the Geneva deal, the Sextet has agreed to several measures including enabling the repatriation of an agreed amount of Iranian revenues held abroad and suspending the EU and US sanctions on insurance and transportation of Iran’s crude./end
