Iran will study Russia’s ‘step-by-step’ proposal: MP

TEHRAN, July 26 (MNA) – Iranian MP Esmaeil Kowsari has said that Tehran will certainly study the Russian proposal for a “step-by-step” approach on Iran and will provide a response if deemed necessary.

On July 13, Russia made a proposal for a “step-by-step” approach, according to which Iran could address questions about its nuclear program and be rewarded with a gradual easing of sanctions.

The Islamic Republic of Iran takes every proposal into consideration and gives a logical response to it, Kowsari stated in an interview with the Mehr News Agency, which was published on Monday.

“We are not concerned at all because we have never violated the Statute of the International Atomic Energy Organization, and if the other side (the IAEA) has some questions, or there is any ambiguity, we will not leave any question unanswered and will clear up ambiguities,” added Kowsari, who is the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee deputy chairman.

But it is the other side which raises ambiguous questions, he stated.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Kowsari said that Russians have been deceived by the United States and the Zionist regime on a number of occasions.

Russia trying to make up for lost opportunities

In addition, Iranian MP Mohammad Karami-Rad has said that Russians are making efforts to make up for lost opportunities for cooperation with Iran in its nuclear program.

The Zionist lobby has never allowed the IAEA officials to report the realities of Iran’s nuclear activities, Karami-Rad told the Mehr News Agency in an interview published on Monday.
