Nuclear talks should be restructured: Iranian MP
TEHRAN, July 3 (MNA) -- Iran's Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chairman Alaeddin Boroujerdi has stated that the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program should be restructured.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, which is a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency and a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, seeks a continuation of negotiations in an atmosphere free of political pressure, Boroujerdi told the Mehr News Agency.
He also stated that efforts should be made to improve the political climate for the talks.
Under the current circumstances, in which the majority of negotiators would come to the negotiating table influenced by the United States’ pressure, talks will get nowhere, the MP noted.
He went on to say that the West should not renege on its commitments and the negotiations should be purposeful and transparent.
The Islamic Republic has access to peaceful nuclear technology whether the West likes it or not, and Iran wants negotiations that would only focus on dispelling doubts about its nuclear program, he added.
Boroujerdi also said the Tehran declaration can provide the framework for constructive negotiations that would help build trust and clear up ambiguities.
On May 17, Iran, Turkey, and Brazil signed a declaration, according to which Iran would ship 1200 kilograms of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey to be exchanged for 120 kilograms of 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel rods to power the Tehran research reactor, which produces radioisotopes for cancer treatment.
