Security Chief Stresses Iran's Determination to Preserve Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Enrichment
Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Akbar Ahmadian reaffirmed Tehran’s commitment to preserving its nuclear fuel cycle and enrichment rights during the 13th International Meeting of High-Ranking Security Officials held Wednesday in Moscow.
Ahmadian stated Iran welcomes negotiations with the United States but insists on retaining its atomic independence and its fuel cycle and enrichment rights.The security official criticized the West's hegemonic policies worldwide, saying that dominant countries, by using tools such as sanctions and technology, try to deprive nations of their inherent rights, as exemplified in their push to restrict Iran's right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.Unilateralism in international politics and the imposition of the will of arrogant powers on nations have created countless tragedies worldwide, and today the West Asia region stands as a showcase of these atrocities, he added.
Iran and the United States have held fifth rounds of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program, with uranium enrichment emerging as the key issue.The latest round of talks on Friday came amid repeated shifts in US stances, which have prompted Iranian officials to criticize the “contradictory” statements made by their American counterparts.Contradictory statements by US officials, including “complete cessation” of Iran's uranium enrichment activities, have left the fate of the indirect talks in limbo. Tehran has emphasized it will continue uranium enrichment, whether or not an accord is reached with Washington.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadian referred to the bitter events in Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq, saying, "the foundation of the Western policy of unilateralism is built on the oppression and exploitation of nations, and the whole world is witnessing an unprecedented crime in Gaza, where, in addition to inhumane killings, women and children are enduring a gradual death by starvation."International political and security structures have been held hostage by the West and dominant powers, while from the perspective of Iran, security should serve the people and uphold the independence and freedom of nations, he added.He advocated a "new global security architecture" that provides everybody with fair opportunities."A comprehensive security umbrella across the world requires multilateralism, and in the new security order, nations must be provided with fair and equal opportunities," Ahmadian said, adding that moving towards a multipolar system will bring peace and justice to all nations.
