UPDATE: 11:00 PM CET<\/strong><\/p>\n In a recent statement reported by state media<\/a>, Mahmoud Nabavian, a member of the Iranian regime’s parliament, emphasized the need to increase the level of enrichment as a means to strengthen the regime’s position and initiate negotiations for the lifting of sanctions, along with gaining concessions.<\/p>\n “We must increase the level of enrichment in order to be in a stronger position and enter negotiations for the lifting of sanctions and secure concessions,” he said.<\/p>\n Nabavian highlighted that the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should be limited to monitoring cases directly related to nuclear particles. He asserted that activities such as centrifuge production, assembly, and other matters fall outside the agency’s jurisdiction. He further argued that if such monitoring were to occur, it would exceed the boundaries set by the Additional Protocol and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). According to parliamentary law, the government is not authorized to engage in these activities, including full cooperation with the IAEA, until the unjust sanctions are lifted, he argued.<\/p>\n Nabavian’s remarks shed light on the regime’s stance regarding its enrichment activities and using nuclear ambitions merely to extort concessions from world powers.<\/p>\n UPDATE: 8:30 PM CET<\/strong><\/p>\n Based partially on reporting by PMOI (MEK) Network in Iran<\/p>\n Sunday, June 18, 2023 \u2013 8 PM GMT + 1<\/p>\n Pensioners<\/a> and retirees affiliated with Iran’s Social Security Organization staged protest rallies in several cities on Sunday, including Kermanshah, Ahvaz, Shushtar, and Shush.
