Paris agreement embodies Iranian nuclear position: Rowhani

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Nov 16, IRNA -- The nuclear deal reached between Iran and the 
European Union`s Big 3 -- France, Germany, Britain -- in Paris 
embodies Iran`s nuclear principles, Supreme Security Council 
secretary Hassan Rowhani said here Tuesday. 
Talking to reporters after after Majlis`s close-door and 
unofficial session, Rowhani informed that the next meeting of the 
IAEA Board of Governors on November 25 will prove whether the 
Europeans are committed to the Paris agreement or not. 
"Europe has already called on Iran to approve the Additional 
Protocol in 2005 and has asked the government to submit the 
pertinent bill to Majlis in the same year. 
"Europe, in its primary draft, seeks a permanent halt for an 
unlimited and unspecified duration of Iran`s uranium enrichment 
activities. They want long-term suspension," Iran`s pointman on 
nuclear issues said. 
Rowhani, moreover, stressed that in the preliminary draft of the 
agreement, "the Europeans did not mention that Iran suspend 
(uranium enrichment) voluntarily and also raised unresolved issues 
pertaining to Iran`s nuclear dossier in the IAEA." 
"The eight points we insisted on were almost totally accepted 
today, but discussions on the issues prolonged the negotiations," he 
stated.
