Iran’s insistence on enrichment requires referral of nuclear file to UNSC

Iran's insistence on enrichment requires referral of nuclear file to UNSCTehran’s Supreme National Security Council Deputy Javad Vaeedi insisted on uranium enrichment inside Iran just a day after press reports that the Iranian regime was ready to consider the Russian proposal.

Vaeedi told the state-run Fars news agency, “Securing Iran’s rights to enrich uranium on Iran’s soil would be the first assumption for assessing Russia’s proposal.” The new statement by Vaeedi essentially dashed illusions by the regime’s foreign negotiating partners that the clerical regime would abide by international agreements and abandon its nuclear weapons ambitions.
Mohammad Mohaddessin, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said, “As the Iranian Resistance has maintained repeatedly in the past, Tehran’s intention in pursuing nuclear technology development in Iran is to acquire nuclear weapons and consolidate its illegitimate rule. If the international community acquiesces to the regime’s ambitions with inaction or unwarranted hope in the regime’s hollow promises, the world would face a disaster.” Mohaddessin called on the European Union to end futile talks with the medieval regime in Iran and refer its nuclear file to the United Nations Security Council without further delay.
