Maryam Rajavi: Iranian regime’s claim to have agreed to a nuclear fuel swap is a deception

Maryam RadjaviThis is a maneuver to prevent adoption of a sanction resolution and the regime is trying to buy more time to complete its nuclear weapons program

NCRI – Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, described the announcement made by the Iranian regime that it had reached an agreement to swap enriched uranium in Turkey as a ridiculous maneuver by the mullahs to evade international sanctions. The regime is extremely fearful of the adoption of a new UN Security Council resolution as domestically it is facing people’s nationwide uprising and is trying to quell it by brutal suppression, torture and growing number of executions. 

Mrs. Rajavi added: This maneuver is the continuation of the regime’s ongoing deception and concealment of the facts in order to complete its nuclear weapons program. The regime considers nuclear bomb, export of terrorism and fundamentalism to be crucial to its survival at a time facing its downfall. The regime will never abandon its nuclear weapons program by negotiations and appeasement.

Agreement on the transfer of part of 3.5 percent enriched uranium to Turkey is announced while thousands of centrifuges are operating in Natanz in open violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

The President-elect of the Iranian Resistance expressed regrets for the role played by Brazil and Turkey to save the killers and torturers of the Iranian people from crisis and their overthrow. She concluded: The Iranian people want a regime change, democracy, peace and stability in the region. No political maneuver or any foreign support will prevent the regime from its inevitable downfall. Eight years after the revelations by the Iranian Resistance of the main nuclear centers at Natanz and Arak, the failed policy of negotiations and appeasement of the mullahs and offer of incentive packages to them, which have brought them closer to nuclear weapons, cannot be justified in any way.
