Timecodes: Iran nuclear deal 0:00 Mosen Fakhrizadeh 4:07 Iran&#039;s disinformation campaign against MEK 5:08 Mahmoud Alavi: Right now, Iran is in no need of the U.S. to return to the JCPOA and is not waiting for the U.S. What can they do, that they have not done already in the face of Iran decreasing its JCPOA obligations, 20 percent enrichment and other such measures? Sanctions are their tools. They imposed maximum sanctions, which they continued to the very end and got no results. Trump\u2019s sanctions imposed enormous pressure on our people. However, it was an opportunity for our nuclear industry, because in the nuclear field we could have taken some measures and the world would condemned us. However, with Trump exiting the JCPOA we decreased our obligations according to the JCPOA and enjoyed international justification. The world gave us the right to do so and when the U.S. unilaterally exits the deal, Iran also has the right to decrease its JCPOA commitments. With the JCPOA we were able to import 450 tons of yellow cake for the 20 percent enriched uranium that we had. Yellow cake for the nuclear industry is like crude oil for oil refineries, meaning we now have yellow cake for our nuclear initiatives for many years to come. Based on the JCPOA we had the right to continue research and development. During this R&amp;D we were able to achieve very important scientific and technological advances. Day by day our abilities increased, we had new developments and they needed to be tested to become operational. The U.S. exiting the JCPOA and Iran decreasing its JCPOA commitments gave us this opportunity to test them. The JCPOA did not destroy our nuclear industry. It decreased to some extent in volume, but in quality we made advances. We displayed that when the Supreme Leader ordered 20 percent enrichment many people thought do we still have a nuclear industry to carry out 20 percent enrichment? The day that we decided to follow the Supreme Leader\u2019s orders to launch 20 percent enrichment, we actually did, and our nuclear capabilities are maintained, continuing its work with determination. During the research and development, we were able to launch the production of IR-6 centrifuges and make them operational. Each IR-6 has ten times the performance rate of old centrifuges and takes up less space while being more proficient. Our nuclear program is a peaceful program and the supreme leader clearly said in his fatwa that producing nuclear weapons is against religious law, and the Islamic Republic will not pursue it and considers it forbidden. But let me tell you, if you corner a cat it might behave differently than a cat roaming free. If they push Iran in that direction, it would not be Iran\u2019s fault but the fault of those who pushed Iran, and Iran does not pursue such a plan in normal. This claim that they are making is illogical, that Iran stops decreasing its obligations. They need to return to square one, and then we need to verify. They should know that such language falls on deaf ears in Iran. The only solution before the U.S. is to lift all sanctions in one step, meaning cancelling them and not just suspending them. They need to return to the deal for Iran to return to deal and live up to its obligations. Two hours after Fakhrizadeh\u2019s death they began chanting slogans against the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) without knowing the Ministry\u2019s role in this regard. These slogans stopped the next day. Why? Because they realized the MOIS had reported two months before the incident that the enemy was active in those areas and they are gathering intelligence. Five days prior to the incident the MOIS said the enemy has plans to kill Fakhrizadeh at that spot. Only the timing was not clear. The individual who provided the first means of killing Fakhrizadeh was from within the armed forces, and we cannot conduct intelligence gathering among the armed forces. We asked them to send a representative to work with us on this issue. Unfortunately, this incident took place before a representative was introduced for us to work on this issue. Given my experience in the ministry, we were involved in movies and series to educate the public, protect the public against espionage, and reach our intelligence goals. The movies Rubah (The Fox), Majerayeh Nimrouz (The Nimrouz Affair), Sianour (Cyanide), Emkan-e Mina, Ruz-e Sefr (Day Zero), Shabi ke Mah Kamel Shod (The Night of the Full Moon), and the TV series Puzzle, The Dream that was Interpreted in Reverse, Saregh-e Ruh (The Soul Thief), and Khaneyeh Amn (Safehouse) were the result of this collaboration with our dear friends.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since 2002, following the international response to revelations by the Iranian Resistance about Iran\u2019s secret nuclear weapons program, Tehran has persistently employed threats and negotiations to leverage its nuclear potential.
