AEOI Chief: Powers Forced to Accept Iran’s Nuclear Enrichment Right

“Recognition of Iran’s enrichment right and acquisition of the nuclear technology was imposed on the other side” during the negotiations with the six world powers, Salehi said, addressing a gathering in Tehran on Tuesday.

He referred to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreed by Iran and the world powers to settle the 13-year standoff on Tehran’s nuclear program, and said one of the JCPOA results was that the Iranophobia plots were all defused and the wrong image that the western media had displayed of Iran to the world was corrected.

Stressing that ran possesses the golden key to the security in the region, Salehi said, “The JCPOA will disrupt the power balance in the region and this indicates that Iran is holding the key to the establishment of security in the region.”

Iran and the world powers reached a final agreement in Vienna on July 14 to end a 13-year-old nuclear standoff.

A week later, the UNSC unanimously endorsed a draft resolution turning into international law the JCPOA reached between Iran and the 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) group of countries over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

Now the US Congress and the Iranian parliament have less than 60 days to review the deal to approve or reject its practice.
