Iranian Parliament Releases "Factsheet" for Revision of Nuclear Framework (Iraq, middle east)

[Devon011]

So it seems Iran has released a revision on what the framework is suppose to say and it is quite different from the one we were told about week ago.

The factsheet which was presented by Head of the Nuclear Committee Ebrahim Karkhaneyee on Wednesday stresses the necessity for respecting the redlines and guidelines specified by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, making Iran's decisions and undertakings reversible to enable the country to resume its nuclear operations in case of the other side's non-commitment to its undertakings, and immediate termination of all sanctions in a single step and on the first day of the implementation of the final agreement.

The factsheet also necessitates commitment of both sides to their undertakings based on the Geneva agreement, a fair and reasonable balance between the gives and takes, taking good care not to impair the country's security and military boundaries and national interests, providing 190,000 SWUs (Separative Work Units) of nuclear fuel enrichment capability needed by Iran to produce fuel for the Bushehr nuclear power plant immediately after the end of contract with Russia, safeguarding the nuclear achievements, actual operation of all nuclear facilities of Iran not in words, but in action, continued Research and Development (R&D) works and scientific and technological progress in Iran and immediate application of R&D findings in the country's industrial-scale uranium enrichment cycle.

The factsheet urges operation of 10,000 centrifuge machines at Natanz and Fordo, a maximum 5-year-long duration for the deal and for Iran's nuclear limitations, replacement of the current centrifuges with the latest generation of home-made centrifuge machines at the end of the five-year period.


Iran is also saying that they will never accept to wait for the IAEA's approval for removal of sanctions. They sure want a lot up front when they say they will only accept a 5 year deal

If Iraq ever obtains Nuclear Weapons Iran cannot count on either the US or Israel for the MAD to maintain a deterrent. I actually favor Iran having Nuclear Weapons. It is about time there was a nuclear parity in the Middle East.
