NOURNEWS- According to a new US intelligence assessment, the Islamic Republic of Iran is not currently seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, but has accelerated activities that could help the country produce such weapons.
According to a two-page excerpt of the mentioned report, which was published on Monday, states: "Iran has not yet taken any action in line with the key activities for producing weapons required to build a testable nuclear device."
The report, however, emphasized that Iran is "researching and developing activities that would bring it closer to producing the explosive materials needed to build a nuclear weapon, should such a decision be made."
This report claims; Iran has violated the JCPOA regarding uranium enrichment and is increasing the volume and concentration of its enriched uranium.
The report of the American intelligence agencies about Iran's nuclear activities, although it still repeats some accusations and claims regarding Iran's move towards increasing the capacity to produce nuclear bombs and reiteration Western countries claims about Iran’s missile programs, but besides acknowledging that Iran's nuclear activities are peaceful, it also points to several important points.
First; In this report, while acknowledging the non-deviation of Iran's nuclear activities, it is officially stated: "The new American intelligence assessment is consistent with the previous assessments of this country."
According to this; It can be clearly seen that America is aware of the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities, not only today, but from the very beginning, and that their anti-Iranian claims were not just propaganda and lies for political, extortion and blackmailing purposes.
These facts prove the positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has always considered the West's anti-Iranian claims as a biased behavior with political goals and far from technical realities, which were made with the aim of justifying sanctions and irrational hostility towards Iran.
Second; In this report, it is acknowledged that: "The findings of the American intelligence report are consistent with the reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency."
A look at the IAEA's reports over the past two decades shows that in dozens of reports, the IAEA has officially acknowledged the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear weapons and emphasized that Iran has not made any deviations towards building a nuclear bomb.
Third; The statement: "Since 2020, Iran has increased its nuclear capabilities, but still has no decision to build a nuclear bomb" is a document indicating Iran's full adherence to the JCPOA, even despite the unilateral withdrawal of the US from the JCPOA.
The mentioned report proves that although Iran has developed its technical and nuclear capabilities based on a logical and practical response to the renegades of the Western parties and the IAEA, in addition to reducing the IAEA's extra-safeguards access, which it previously implemented voluntarily, there is no nuclear matter deviation.
According to these points, although the western media, including Persian-language based ones, are against it, they call this report a kind of negotiation message from the US after the words of "Jake Sullivan" who admitted to indirect negotiations with Tehran about the American prisoners. To introduce the passerby of Iran as an obstacle to the start of the negotiations, but the truth is that the American intelligence report has an internal basis and it cannot be considered as an expression of the change in the behavior of the US towards the JCPOA and the negotiations.
However, although the said report cannot be considered as a factor for optimism towards the American’s approach to the negotiations, at least it reveals the indisputable fact that the two decades of Western nuclear claims against Iran are illusory and deceptive claims that has taken place only in line with political goals and enmity against the nation of Iran.
This report also not only reveals the illusion of the US and three European countries in the recent meeting of the Security Council against Iran, but it is also a document that confirms the 20-year deviation of the Agency from a technical approach to all kinds of political games regarding Iran's peaceful nuclear activities.
The said report shows that the irrational and coercive demand of the Westerners regarding the need to maintain the sanctions, which, according to Resolution 2231 should be partially canceled in October 2023, is a biased behavior and its excuses are not even consistent with the findings of the American intelligence agencies.
