Iran to guarantee its peaceful nuclear program

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Madrid, Feb 24, IRNA
Iran-Nuclear-Statement
The Islamic Republic of Iran confirmed in a statement on Friday it is ready to guarantee its peaceful nuclear program through secure channels.

Iran is only for peaceful nuclear energy within the framework of the regulations and articles stipulated in the international treaties, a statement published by I.R.I embassy in Madrid stressed.

"The inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) (which are currently being done), making use of advanced centrifuges with limited scale (as suggested by some American and British scientists) and contribution of interested countries in Iran's nuclear program are regarded as the options Iran recommends as its best guarantee to develop its peaceful nuclear program.

The statement also reacted to the hue and cry by western propaganda and blamed the double standard policy the western governments have adopted towards Iran's nuclear case.

As some European countries as well as Japan and Brazil have gained nuclear energy, Iran also would like to achieve nuclear knowledge with peaceful ends, said the statement.

There are some ways showing Iran is not after nuclear program with military purposes, said the statement, adding Iran will send the additional protocol to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to the Majlis (parliament) for final ratification should its mentioned guarantees are accepted.

The European Union (EU) may provide new ways on Iran's nuclear case based on legal strategies respecting the NPT articles should it adopt an independent way and not to follow the US policies, the statement recommended.

Iran, the statement notes, has announced that it is ready to hold talks and cooperate with all governments, except the Zionist regime, within the mentioned framework.

The statement reiterated that the the EU should use its potentials to resolve the nuclear case and that Tehran is interested in a long-term cooperation with the EU.

"If an international system existed to guarantee providing nuclear fuel, Iran would be interested to join it. However, such a system does not exist, today," the statement concluded.
