Iran Resolute in Maintaining Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Enrichment, States Security Official
Iran has expressed openness to engaging in talks regarding the lifting of Western-imposed sanctions linked to its nuclear activities. However, the nation remains firm on preserving its nuclear autonomy, including maintaining its fuel cycle and enrichment capabilities, as stated by the country's leading security official.
Ali Akbar Ahmadian, in his capacity as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, delivered an address on Wednesday during the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues held in Moscow. His speech centered on the development of an equitable and enduring security framework.
An official has voiced criticism against the hegemonic strategies employed by Western nations globally, asserting that these dominant countries leverage tools like sanctions and technological means to deprive other nations of their inherent rights. This is particularly exemplified by efforts to curtail Iran’s legitimate right to the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy.
An official has stated that unilateral actions in international politics, coupled with the imposition of domineering powers’ agendas, have led to numerous global tragedies. Currently, the West Asia region exemplifies these acts of aggression.
Ahmadian highlighted the challenging situations in regions such as Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq, emphasizing that Western unilateral policies are based on the oppression and exploitation of other nations. He pointed out that the world is currently witnessing severe atrocities in Gaza, where, alongside inhumane violence, women and children are suffering from a slow death due to starvation.
Ahmadian expressed that global political and security frameworks are currently dominated by Western powers, asserting that from Iran’s viewpoint, security mechanisms should prioritize the welfare of the populace and protect the sovereignty and freedom of nations.
He called for the establishment of a “new global security architecture” designed to ensure equitable opportunities for all parties involved.
He emphasized that establishing a comprehensive global security framework necessitates multilateralism, asserting that, within the new security paradigm, nations should be afforded equitable opportunities. He further stated that transitioning towards a multipolar system promises to foster peace and justice for all countries.
The 13th International Conference of Senior Security Officials commenced its main session on Wednesday, featuring delegations from more than one hundred nations, including Iran. The proceedings began with a video message from Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
As reported by Sergey Shuygo, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, a total of 126 high-ranking delegations from 104 nations attended the conference.
The delegations comprised security council chiefs, national security affairs aides and advisors to heads of state, ministers, leaders of special services, as well as 13 secretaries-general and representatives from international organizations.
