NCRI - Head of Iran's Atomic Energy Agency, Gholamreza Aghazadeh, said yesterday, "The nuclear fuel cycle in Natanz has been completed and uranium 235 with 3.5% enrichment is being produced.  We are not willing to let go of the technology we have achieved through the efforts of our own experts and become dependent on others."

Mullahs' Foreign Minister, Manuchehr Mottaki, who spoke at the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, said, "For us uranium enrichment is the redline, which no official in Iran can cross under any circumstances."

Comments by Mottaki and Aghazadeh, and the failure of the Brussels  and Moscow talks, prove once again that the religious, terrorist dictatorship in Iran pursues no other objectives in these negotiations except to acquire more time in order to complete its nuclear projects. Obtaining nuclear weapons is strategic to the survival of the mullahs and appeasement would only assist them to reach that goal.

The Iranian Resistance once again warns of Iranian regimes deceptive maneuvers between Europe and Moscow and calls for an immediate and comprehensive oil, technological, arms and diplomatic embargo on Tehran to deny it the possibility of acquiring nuclear weapons.
