Reuters: IAEA will not issue a binding resolution against Iran

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, an English media in an analysis on Friday discussed the confusion of the United States and its Western allies regarding Iran’s nuclear program and quoted Western diplomats as reporting that it is unlikely that the Board of Governors of the IAEA in issue a binding resolution against Iran in the upcoming session.

The Reuters news agency wrote in this analysis that there are not many ways left for the United States and its allies to curb Iran’s nuclear activities, because the nuclear negotiations have been buried for a long time and the imposition of tougher sanctions against Tehran. It will come with the risk of escalating tensions in a region that is already on fire due to the Gaza war.

This news agency writes that in a situation where the US presidential election next year will limit Washington’s power to maneuver, four current and three former Western diplomats are pessimistic about the prospects of the West’s efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear program. they draw

All these diplomats spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.

According to English media, US President Joe Biden, after failing to revive the nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers, now even to conclude “informal understandings” to limit Iran’s nuclear activities in There is a predicament.

Negotiations to lift the sanctions against Iran have been interrupted since last year. The last round of these talks was held in August of last year in Vienna.

According to experts, some factors such as pressure from the Zionist regime, differences with Congress and internal problems in the United States are the reasons for the reluctance of the Biden administration to return to JCPOA has been in the White House since taking power.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has made the verification of the lifting of sanctions, obtaining guarantees regarding the durability of the JCPOA and the removal of safeguards claims of the Atomic Agency as its main demands in the negotiations to lift the sanctions and emphasized that only returning to a bilateral agreement which, in exchange for some restrictions, would bring tangible economic benefit to the Iranian nation and accepts it.

A senior European diplomat told Reuters: “With a kind of paralysis, especially in We are facing between the Americans… because they don’t want to pour oil on the fire.”

Reuters news agency writes that any negotiations to reach some kind of “understanding” with Iran requires the granting of concessions such as the reduction of sanctions against Iran is in the process of restricting parts of Tehran’s nuclear program.

According to Reuters, such an action seems unimaginable after the deadly attack of the Hamas group on the American ally, Israel, on October 7. Since that date, groups allied with Iran have carried out dozens of attacks on the headquarters of American and coalition forces in Iraq and Syria.

The US Ministry of Defense announced yesterday that since October 17, the country’s bases in Iraq and Syria have been attacked 58 times.

The resistance groups have announced in statements that these attacks are carried out in response to the relentless support of the United States to the Zionist regime in Gaza.

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on October 7 In response to more than seven decades of occupation of Palestine and nearly two decades of siege of Gaza and the imprisonment and torture of thousands of Palestinians, he started the operation known as “Al-Aqsa Storm”.

This operation is one of the deadliest The attacks were against this regime. Hamas fighters penetrated into the occupied territories at several points of the border fences, attacked villages and besides killing a large number of Israelis, captured a number of them.

Zionist regime In response to this operation, it launched heavy attacks against Gaza and placed this area under complete siege. The attacks of the Zionist regime have led to the martyrdom of more than 11,500,000 people.

In another part of its analysis, the Reuters news agency points to the limitations caused by next year’s presidential election, which will limit Biden’s maneuvering power against Iran. It is mentioned that they reduce

Reuters by “Donald Trump”, who currently seems to be the main rival of Biden, may use any interaction of Biden with Iran as a pretext and make it appear as a sign of weakness against Tehran .

Washington and its allies in France, Britain and Germany are now focusing on next week’s meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors.

In its new quarterly report published on Wednesday, the agency claimed that Iran’s enriched uranium reserves have reached 22 times the limit allowed in the JCPOA.

In this report, it is stated that the amount of Iran’s uranium reserves enriched up to 20% in the form of UF6 increased by 31.3 kg and reached 567.1 kg.

Reuters writes a new report shows that Iran’s nuclear advances continue and that Tehran continues to “thwart IAEA monitoring activities.”

According to this report, the officials of the western countries had threatened in September that they might force Tehran to change its procedure by issuing a binding resolution.

Four Western diplomats told Reuters that a resolution is now unlikely because it is necessary to avoid escalating diplomatic and nuclear tensions with Iran at a time when attention is focused on the Gaza war. It seems

These diplomats have said that taking an action that is less capable of creating tension, such as issuing a non-binding resolution that threatens Tehran to take tougher positions in the upcoming meeting of the Council of Governors, seems more likely now.

The senior European diplomat said: “We cannot issue a resolution now. If we issue a resolution, it may push them to the final option of 90 percent enrichment.”

Two other diplomats told Reuters that the only thing that could be done in the coming months is support From “Rafael Grossi”, the director general of the agency will be to strengthen the monitoring of Iran’s nuclear program.

A diplomat said: “It is too early to say whether Iran will become a nuclear power or whether it will remain a country on the verge of nuclearization as it is now, but they For now, they will continue to enrich.”

Western countries led by the United States and the Zionist regime have accused Iran of pursuing military goals in the country’s nuclear program in the past years. Iran has strongly denied these claims.

Iran emphasizes, as one of the signatories of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the right to access technology. has a nuclear program for peaceful purposes.

Furthermore, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency have visited Iran’s nuclear facilities many times, but never found any evidence of a peaceful nuclear energy program. They have not found that it deviates towards military purposes.

In addition, in 2015, Iran reached an agreement with the countries known as the 5+1 group to resolve tensions over its nuclear program. achieved.

Despite the International Atomic Energy Agency’s acknowledgment of Iran’s adherence to all its obligations, the US government unilaterally withdrew from this agreement in May 2017.
