Rouhani derides failure of ''warmongering Zionist regime''

Hailing nuclear agreement, Iran’s president slams anti-Iran ‘propaganda’ from ‘usurper’ Israel

Declaring that the nuclear deal struck by Iran with world powers meets all of Iran’s aims, President Hassan Rouhani on Tuesday also derided Israel for what he called its “failed” attempts to undermine his country’s interests.

“Do not be deceived by the propaganda of the usurper Zionist regime,” Rouhani said, in a speech in which he declared that “today major world powers recognized Iran’s nuclear program.”

“The Zionist state has failed in its efforts,” he said, speaking live in a nationwide televised address.

He also tweeted: “To our neighbours: Do not be deceived by the propaganda of the warmongering Zionist regime.”

Israel’s leadership has relentlessly attacked the deal, with Prime Minister BenjaminNetanyahu describing it Tuesday as a “historic mistake.”

“Today, we are at an important juncture in the history of our country and our revolution and the situation in the region,” Rouhani said, adding that “Iran will honor the agreement, if the other sides abide by it.”

To our neighbours: Do not be deceived by the propaganda of the warmongering Zionist regime. #Iran & its power will translate into your power

— Hassan Rouhani (@HassanRouhani) July 14, 2015

Rouhani called the deal a “win-win agreement” and asserted that the sanctions regime employed against Iran was “never successful” in affecting Iran’s nuclear program. It only harmed ordinary people, he said.

“A new page has been turned and a new chapter has begun,” said Rouhani, predicting that it would mark a “starting point” for trust between Tehran and the world.

“Today, we are at an important juncture in the history of our country and our revolution and the situation in the region,” he said.

Rouhani dismissed claims that Iran seeks nuclear weapons. “Iran has never sought to manufacture a nuclear weapon and will never seek to manufacture a nuclear weapon,” he claimed. “The whole world knows very well that manufacturing a nuclear bomb … is considered forbidden.”

Iran with 0 nuclear heads negotiating with countries that have all together 16’335 nuclear heads

Well Iran finally can modernize their military, expecting Russia to offer su35 or maybe even PAKFA to Iran. Iran can export oil to more countries now. Iran is the only stable country with access to central asia, should bring them lot of investments from China, Japan and India, i'd say west but they'd still be wary.

India will gain much of this nuclear deal.

A prosperous Iran on the western borders of Pakistan is a strategic gain for India. For India it will be easier to funnel aid to Blochinstan insurgents as Iran is no longer as focus of US policies any more.

The port of Chabhaar, is much more likely be completed sooner. That network of roads and rail to central Asian republics is a greater possibility than ever before. This is a direct challenge to trade corridor China is trying to build thru Pakistan.

That natural gas sale by Iran to India will become possible. Whether it is via undersea pipeline or refrigerated ships will increase in quantity by leaps and bound. Pakistan is no longer in the middle. If they interfere. India has nuclear subs and Aircraft carriers to block all of Pakistani coast.

Iran is looking and India is encouraging to embrace each other in a friendly manner. This probably will be greater discomfort to Pakistan. The latter thought that they had India by the throat again with China built corridor. Now the situation is dramatically changed.

Ok few questions since the deal has been signed
1)What is Iran's current stockpile of LEU ( less than 3.67%) Uranium ? any HEU and what happens to that ??
2)What is the SWU of your IR-1 centrifuges and how many you have?? and what happens to IR 6 and IR 8 centrifuges ??
3)Since Arak will be modified What happens to your heavy water factory ?

Ok few questions since the deal has been signed
1)What is Iran's current stockpile of LEU ( less than 3.67%) Uranium ? any HEU and what happens to that ??
2)What is the SWU of your IR-1 centrifuges and how many you have?? and what happens to IR 6 and IR 8 centrifuges ??
3)Since Arak will be modified What happens to your heavy water factory ?

1)
During the 15 year period, and as Iran gradually moves to meet international
qualification standards for nuclear fuel produced in Iran, it will keep its uranium
stockpile under 300 kg of up to 3.67% enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6) or the
equivalent in other chemical forms. The excess quantities are to be sold based on
international prices and delivered to the international buyer in return for natural
uranium delivered to Iran, or are to be down-blended to natural uranium level.
Enriched uranium in fabricated fuel assemblies from Russia or other sources for use
in Iran's nuclear reactors will not be counted against the above stated 300 kg UF6
stockpile, if the criteria set out in Annex I are met with regard to other sources. The
Joint Commission will support assistance to Iran, including through IAEA technical
cooperation as appropriate, in meeting international qualification standards for
nuclear fuel produced in Iran. All remaining uranium oxide enriched to between 5%
and 20% will be fabricated into fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR). Any
additional fuel needed for the TRR will be made available to Iran at international
market prices.
-------------------------------------------------------------
2)
Iran will begin phasing out its IR-1 centrifuges in 10 years. During this period, Iran
will keep its enrichment capacity at Natanz at up to a total installed uranium
enrichment capacity of 5060 IR-1 centrifuges. Excess centrifuges and enrichmentrelated
infrastructure at Natanz will be stored under IAEA continuous monitoring,
as specified in Annex I.
Iran will continue to conduct enrichment R&D in a manner that does not accumulate
enriched uranium. Iran's enrichment R&D with uranium for 10 years will only
include IR-4, IR-5, IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges as laid out in Annex I, and Iran will not
engage in other isotope separation technologies for enrichment of uranium as
specified in Annex I. Iran will continue testing IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges, and will
commence testing of up to 30 IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges after eight and a half years,
as detailed in Annex I.
As Iran will be phasing out its IR-1 centrifuges, it will not manufacture or assemble
other centrifuges, except as provided for in Annex I, and will replace failed
centrifuges with centrifuges of the same type. Iran will manufacture advanced
centrifuge machines only for the purposes specified in this JCPOA. From the end of
the eighth year, and as described in Annex I, Iran will start to manufacture agreed
numbers of IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuge machines without rotors and will store all of
the manufactured machines at Natanz, under IAEA continuous monitoring until they
are needed under Iran's long-term enrichment and enrichment R&D plan.
Based on its own long-term plan, for 15 years, Iran will carry out its uranium
enrichment-related activities, including safeguarded R&D exclusively in the Natanz
Enrichment facility, keep its level of uranium enrichment at up to 3.67%, and, at
Fordow, refrain from any uranium enrichment and uranium enrichment R&D and
from keeping any nuclear material.
------------------------------------------------------------------
3)
Iran will redesign and rebuild a modernised heavy water research reactor in Arak,
based on an agreed conceptual design, using fuel enriched up to 3.67 %, in a form of
an international partnership which will certify the final design. The reactor will
support peaceful nuclear research and radioisotope production for medical and
industrial purposes. The redesigned and rebuilt Arak reactor will not produce
weapons grade plutonium. Except for the first core load, all of the activities for
redesigning and manufacturing of the fuel assemblies for the redesigned reactor will
be carried out in Iran. All spent fuel from Arak will be shipped out of Iran for the
lifetime of the reactor. This international partnership will include participating
E3/EU+3 parties, Iran and such other countries as may be mutually determined.
Iran will take the leadership role as the owner and as the project manager and the
E3/EU+3 and Iran will, before Implementation Day, conclude an official document
which would define the responsibilities assumed by the E3/EU+3 participants.

Iran, Russia vs. U.S. In Verbal Clash Over Iran's Ballistic Missiles


Leaks this past week from the negotiation room in Vienna show that the issue of ballistic missiles has been brought up by Iran, with the support of Russia, in the nuclear negotiations. This is despite that fact that so far, throughout all the months of negotiations, Iran has steadfastly refused to discuss this issue, claiming that it has nothing to do with its nuclear program.
Nevertheless, at this time the Iranians have raised the issue of ballistic missiles and have demanded that the sanctions connected to them be lifted. The sanctions were imposed due to the fear that Iran is striving to develop nuclear warheads that can be mounted on ballistic missiles.

On July 8, 2015, two days before the end of the second extension of the deadline for announcing a final agreement, a Russian source close to the negotiations leaked to the Iranian news agency Mehr details about a loud verbal clash at a meeting of the sides' foreign ministers two days previously, on July 6.

It should be noted that on June 30, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had instructed Iranian President Hassan Rohani, as part of his plan for Iran's development, "to improve Iran's deterrent capability by means of expanding its missile capability."[1]



The following is the translation of the Mehr report:

Russian Source: Iranian FM Zarif Told Kerry: "You Are In No Position Whatsoever To Determine [Anything] About Iran's Missile Capability"

A Russian source close to the nuclear negotiations told a Mehr correspondent in Vienna: "On Monday evening [July 6], there were intensive negotiations and challenges between Iran and the members of the P5+1 around the negotiating table. At this meeting, the American negotiating team defined Iran's missile capability as a threat to Middle East stability, and demanded, in a threatening tone, that Iran submit to Washington's exact demands regarding the arms embargo on Iran and Iran's missile capability.


"In response to the open threat by the Americans, Iran's foreign minister [Javad Zarif] shouted heatedly at the American negotiating team that all the problems in the region are impacted by their actions and by the West's support for terrorists with funds and weapons. He added, 'You are in no position whatsoever to determine [anything] about Iran's missile capability.'"

Zarif To Western Colleagues:"Never Threaten An Iranian"

The Russian source added: "Following Zarif's resolute reaction, [European Union foreign policy chief Federica] Mogherini entered the conversation and threatened Iran that she would leave the negotiations. The Iranian foreign minister was not deterred, and said assertively to the Western [representatives]: 'Remember, never threaten an Iranian.'

"Zarif's assertive stance was welcomed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who said immediately after him, 'Nor a Russian.'"

Iran’s Majles will have final say on nuclear deal
'I think the drama will be bigger in my country than in yours,'
Iran's speaker of majles (parliament) says.

Lawmakers’ approval of the deal, which would remove economic sanctions on Iran in return for restrictions on its nuclear program, isn’t assured in either country, though President Obama is expected to win Senate backing after securing the necessary votes on Wednesday. In Iran, some parliamentarians have also demanded a vote, a position apparently supported by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier Thursday.

“It’s the representatives of the people who should decide,” Khamenei told Iran’s Assembly of Experts in Tehran, according to comments posted on his website. “I have no advice for parliament as to how they should assess it or whether they should approve or reject it.”

Khamenei has told President Hassan Rouhani that excluding parliament from the legal approval process “was not expedient,” according to his website. So far, Iranian government officials have said they plan to leave the decision to the Supreme National Security Council, which would then require Khamenei’s final approval.

Iran’s lawmakers will vote on the deal after its special committee completes its review in a few weeks, Larijani said. The likely outcome is unclear, he said, though he personally supports the agreement because it lifts sanctions while still allowing Iran to conduct limited uranium enrichment.

The provision for sanctions to be reimposed in the future is one of the “major and serious faults” that some Iranians have found with the agreement, Larijani said.

“That’s why I said the U.S. continued to play the role of bully even when we were negotiating,” he said. “But as I said, overall it was a good deal because Iran also achieved some of its goals.”

Khamenei said earlier there would be “no deal” if the agreement does not result in the complete lifting of sanctions. If sanctions are only temporarily lifted, Iran will in turn only suspend its nuclear activities rather than carry out the “fundamental measures” outlined in the deal, Khamenei said.
