Iran
Atomic Energy Organization Spokesman Behrooz Kamalvandi pointing to the country’s
ongoing nuclear talks said "We must open a separate account for the US ruling
power than that of the Congress and especially its radical members. Although they
are the same in thinking and all three try to weaken Iran, the US government
admitted that such a thing is not possible.”
He stated
"They tried to imply that the sanctions belonged to previous issues. I personally
believe that the incumbent ruling power of the US feel sometimes that they are
under pressure by radical groups. Although they know it will make things more
difficult, they do things and say things. The radicals were even seeking to
deprive the US president of his veto vote by a majority two third vote. On the
other side Obama threatened new sanctions with veto. They also do things that
damage the negotiations.”
Asked
how long it will take Iran to boost uranium enrichment from 5 to 20 percent he
said "With technical considerations it will take one day, even less than that,
2-3 hours, which of course I am saying approximately, when you try to put the
falls in circulation.”
He also
provided comments on new agreement with Russia on building more nuclear power
plants and said "The latest news is that tomorrow Mr. Spasskiy, Deputy Director
General for International Activities of Rosatom will come to Tehran for talks. We
are planning to prepare a protocol including mutual cooperation especially in
building power plants. The IAEO head Mr. Salehi has also sent a message to Rosatom
president Sergey Kiriyenko where he asked for boosted technological cooperation.
Tomorrow’s discussion will concern a protocol which will later on be signed by
the heads of the two organizations.”
He also
pointed to reports that the IAEA is seeking to launch headquarters in Iran and
said "We were against resident inspectors since the beginning. The EU would
seek resident inspectors. We told them that we would not accept resident
inspectors and that they would have to send inspectors. It is fortunate that
the IAEA was not willing to have resident inspectors. The surveillance cameras
are not online either, because part of it has to do with the additional
protocol and we did not like online cameras.”
