Envoy: Iran Studying Russian Step-by-Step Proposal
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian envoy to Moscow said Tehran is still studying Russia's step-by-step proposal for the settlement of Iran-West nuclear standoff.
"The approach is a detailed one and every single word of it should be examined carefully from technical and legal aspects. Iran needs a great amount of time to present its viewpoints on the proposal so that the two sides can secure a proper result," Iranian Ambassador to Russia Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi told the Iranian students news agency.
"It is a sensitive issue. Iranian nation is sensitive on its nuclear right and observes the process carefully. We cannot ignore the nation's right demands easily. We should carry out required examinations. We should be careful to prevent imposition of western illegal conditions."
"It is proved to Iranian nation that claims of the West and its allies on Russian failure to comply with its commitments was vain and aimed at creating discord and misunderstanding between the two key and influential countries in the region and to clean the West's hostile policies," Sajjadi said referring to pre launch of Bushehr power plant.
Washington and its Western allies accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, while they have never presented any corroborative evidence to substantiate their allegations. Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
Tehran stresses that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.
Despite the rules enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) entitling every member state, including Iran, to the right of uranium enrichment, Tehran is now under four rounds of UN Security Council sanctions for turning down West's calls to give up its right of uranium enrichment.
Tehran has dismissed West's demands as politically tainted and illogical, stressing that sanctions and pressures merely consolidate Iranians' national resolve to continue the path.
