Iran Urges The U.N. Watchdog Not To Publish Unnecessary Details On The Nuclear Program
Iran has recently urged the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog to avoid publishing unnecessary details on Tehran’s nuclear program, a day after Germany, France, and Britain stated that Tehran has no credible civilian use for its development of uranium metal.
The report quoted a statement from Iran’s nuclear department that had asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to avoid publishing details on Iran’s nuclear program that may further cause confusion. The statement said that it is expected that the international atomic energy agency would avoid providing unnecessary details and prevent paving the ground for misunderstanding, in the international community.
On Saturday, France, Germany, and Britain had pressed Iran to back off its plan to develop uranium metal and called it the latest planned violation of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
The main goal of the deal is to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. In a joint statement, they said that Iran has no credible civilian use for uranium metal and that the production of uranium meal has potentially grave military implications.
On Thursday, the IAEA has said that Iran had reportedly informed that it had begun installing equipment for the production of uranium metal. It also said that Tehran maintains its plans to conduct research and development on uranium metal production that is a part of its declared aim to design an improved type of fuel.
For a very long time, Tehran had suspected that the result of the inspections made by the agency has been leaked ad had caused further problems for Iran.
In December, the country’s parliament had passed a law that could thereby suspend part of snap inspections that the nuclear deal provided to the inspectors in late February regarding the U.S. banking and oil sanctions.
Even though the country has said that the other usual inspections shall continue since the nation is a member of the non-proliferation treaty.
On Sunday, Iran reacted to the European statement saying that Iran had informed the U.N. nuclear watchdog nearly two decades back of its plans for the conventional and peaceful production of uranium metal. It also added that it had provided the updated information to the agency two years ago about its plans to produce silicide advanced fuel.
The statement read that uranium metal is an intermediate product in the manufacture of uranium silicide, a fuel that is used in nuclear reactors that is safer and has more power capability than uranium oxide-based fuel, which Iran produces currently.
Later on Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif criticized the Europeans for their failure in saving the nuclear deal or JCPOA after the U.S. withdrew and said that the deal remains alive because Iran did not withdraw from it.
Zarif said that JCPOA is alive because of Iran and criticized Europe’s dependence on the approval of every single banking transaction with Iran.
President-elect Joe Bide who was the vice-president then has promised to return the deal to the U.S.
