atomic energy agency to find to iran's point of view. hello again or welcome to spotlight they enter the show. today my guest in the studio is highly as got a soul title iran's nuclear program has been the headache for the rest of the world for decades year after year terror and has been saying it's personal peaceful girls but many in the world fear these climate republic may be fostering plans of building nuclear warheads so what's cooking in iran's nuclear kitchen will be hearing about it from the man who represents iran in the enter atomic energy agency

. some time. iran says it needs to enrich its own uranium for a few lng its nuclear power stations and other peaceful purposes after failing to meet international obligations to reanimate post sanctions on the country four years ago they banned any uranium related corporation between tyrant and other countries and maybe i am special as all the wrongs nucleus sides mandatory two years ago france and russia offered to enrich uranium for terance power plants even though the offer was welcomed by the international community iran turned it down now after years of argument and counter-argument the parties are in istanbul to once again try and come to a compromise over iran's nuclear ambitions. hello mrs litany and thank you very much for being with us on the show my pleasure well i first of all i want to start from a recent when you set. the january twenty one twenty two meeting could be

the last chance for major powers to strike a deal. could you specify what do you mean by a last chance are you threatening the major powers and and do you mean that that if the negotiations fail this will be it to give first of all a pleasure to be with you have to clarify that was as a rather nice coating then i had a discussion with media and some intellectuals in paris and in fact i was not relating my what i said to the negotiation need in your life the last one i thought i was referring to negotiation in vienna on ten round decision react or then i said i repeat here you notice that did the negotiation in october two thousand and nine was not conclude there and therefore we had no option down to continue and make our twenty percent up to twenty percent fuel for our own and up to now roughly forty

kilogram have been produced and that we don't need to wait on did one hundred twenty kilogram is all produce as long as soon as the first fuel rod is ready and we can put it into a quart of tehran react or then we do not have that much justification to come a negotiation from russia u.s. and france in vienna any more for terrorists as reactor because we can produce ourselves what do we need to come to them and according to what agreed to send some material to turkey one thousand two hundred kilograms therefore i said that the time is running therefore they better use your support to needy and to come to the negotiating table before it's too late that is what exactly i'm saying and i want to say that until now that i'm talking to you right now face to face is still the test on declaration which we agreed as a compromise is on the table. well ahead of the istanbul talks

tirana has organized a trip for foreign diplomats a tour inside to. you have the nuclear sites well however the major powers russia china and the european union have refused the story saying that that the inspectors from the i am a should should be there and they should do verify whether the iran's program is peaceful or now do you agree with the position of russia china and the first position of russia and china was different from their position on e.u. the dead was the e.u. that they said that you better invite the inspectors which was unjustified because already inspectors are almost every day now based on our activities and commitment on that n.p.t. in fact during this visit of ambassadors last week which i was there with them the ok janelle leave by coincidence saw this specter doing their job this is it the

special and visit of some diplomats to the i.a.e.a. is completed to do different things russians are asking to postpone it but rick because we had already planned and many ambassadors preferred this time therefore we couldn't depose want the one thing is one to give you have to make a distinction between visiting of ambassadors to the i.a.e.a. which always discuss this matter any nyad they better have a big good feeling and inspectors are doing their own technical job you use either the inspectors are there almost have your say but as far as i know from the press from what. politicians say it's iran's a refusal to comply with previous years security council resolutions to allow full inspection of your atomic sites this was the reason that convinced for example russia and china to back up the sanctions so when will

iran be ready to to to fully open its sites for inspection i one hundred percent. disagree with you because you have to. make a distinction again between the spec sherin and our obligation and that the n.p.t. and those requests the. united security council v are fully cooperating with the i.a.e.a. under the n.p.t. and by now four thousand man day special has been made in iran which is unprecedented in the history of i.a.e.a. what you were really fairing however was there the question of security council resolution to suspend to a stop these activities of a rich man or heavy water reactor a construction which is in not a legally binding in fact without no legal basis and this we cannot of course do that because this enrichment is one hundred percent under control and surveillance with the camera therefore we cannot find any justification in fact with the press

conference a minute ago i was explaining for a reason why the security council resolutions have no legal basis first of all i quoted to set your the article for twelve c only these issues should be sent to new york security council if the inspectors ical denies non-compliant as reporting to director general and then director john report to the board of governors however any case of iran even france germany u.k. with the support of the us in fact pushed it politically and they did decided to send this matter to new york it was contradiction with the statute and also i remind you that the cases like for example in north korea if the inspectors are not permitted to the conti according to statute then this issue should be to center new york but in the case of iran all live ports of director general for a eight years the director general has said that we are able to continue our

inspection and there is no evidence of diversion because of these reasons and since that is illusion is that even by e.u. treaty sais that this. suspension was not legally binding and volunteer because of these for reasons that is illusions of security glance or have no legal basis we will not implemented a year x. and say you know when there is a listen to two talks to two to. the ocean between iran and the western world i get that impression that it resembles the famous beatle song you remember you say goodbye i say hello you say yes i say in there i save black you say white but some people may get the same impression and start start singing the song listening to our interview so. is this all about words is it all about propaganda is it all about making news or is it about nuclear safety i mean the iranian you are a new issue can you be frank and say and say yes or no simply of course i'm not

going to give any comment about the go shares but one thing is clear that vienna spared no effort to prove to the whole world has our nuclear activities are exclusively for peaceful surpluses. as i said many people will believe you know that that is the problem that i think that through you i want to tell the whole war on that over one hundred twenty countries men have without any interruption for the last eight years supported iran and their statement is documented in die as the part of the historian pages of the story therefore the international community majority of the member states of the whole war have supported and these are the ambassadors which accompanied me in the well in the percentage of over one hundred twenty countries have continued to support that only for your counties of descent countries they also claim and give allegations they are not representing

international community please we have to be careful about using the international community the majority of the whole or or have always supported iran. you can see that in our look at activity for peace corps and we have they have encouraged us and fully cooperated and we die you only a few western counties they want to use i.e. year as a tool in order to dictate from new york to vienna what to do what from washington to need to vietnam what to do and we are preventing them to do it because i am independent organisation that is exactly what you want to could distinguish between these two we would continue our cooperation be done a year fully cooperating in accordance with our nuclear activities and obligation therefore we have to distinguish that everything is hundred percent transparent and you cannot find anywhere in the whole war that would accept inviting visiting and embarrass a lot of different countries and media to our nuclear stages everything is hundred percent transpired well let's get back to the upcoming the o.c.a. sions you as you put it lately i quote iran will sit at the negotiating table only

when there is no precondition this is a principle of iran and quote that's right. a few days ago after you said that your president ahmadinejad's said i quote again how can an agreement be reached as long as there are sanctions and quote well the lifting of sanctions is iran's own precondition so are you are you against preconditions or not wait a minute you have to distinguish the fact that they have always said is a dipali a sea of cattle tennis the science channel negotiations in principle is wrong and nobody can accept that it has been it has been on this globe for for for for a century we have this is out of things that this is an uncivilized no colonialism mentality and we have to confront this mentality isn't it the way we bring up her kids i mean the carrot and stick no no no no no no no seven we shouldn't do that

because i was not really isn't clear that you know if you are doing and are sinners because another you say it for me will come from this kind of mentality and that is why if you are. remember years back they were saying they were saying that iran should suspend then we would start negotiation he didn't accept any precondition that was a precondition but we already as the president are all top off as i've always said to negotiate with the mitchell to speak without condition and it says i lee i was got a full tiny iran's permanent ambassador to the international atomic energy agency spotlight will be back shortly after a break so stay with us we'll continue and less than a minute at it with. repairing a broken nation. highway construction and humanitarian aid. but as

video on demand on t.v.'s my old costs and all recessed feeds now in the palm of your. wish it on the t. dot com. welcome back to sponsor light i'm al green of and just to remind you that my guest in the studio today is i leave as god soltani says iran's permanent ambassador to the international atomic energy agency you know. you said that you ran is not going to develop a nuclear bomb a nuclear weapon and you said you have good reasons for that i mean not yours but the country can you explain because all i've heard so far is that. there

may be facilities are for peaceful means but they may be theoretically used for military purposes now you're putting it differently please elaborate the founder of revolution lately mark khomeini always twenty five years ago and in new york asians if elected the the horrible aspects of the local is where planned and in fact in one of these statement called the people intellectuals writers and scientists to enlighten their people so that they can uprise about their nuclear weapon at the time of two super bowl as and try to destroy this nuclear weapon and present right now the supreme leader has in many occasions also considered this one religiously forbidden and you know and he can in fact if we pass on mass destruction including nuclear weapons but i want to today give another reason that i hope you and your distinguished readers would be this convinced you are not is

that we are negotiating with five plus one it means five power nuclear power having nuclear weapons we are negotiating and. he said we are negotiating with mutual respect and equal footing it means that we can sit at our sell it cause power with other people have a nuclear weapon in order to discuss global and regional issues of the whole word now unless it assumed as an investor now do you we will go to a nuclear weapon how many nuclear weapon we can make could we ever be able to compete with the twenty seven thousand warheads of these p. five or five countries we cannot therefore up there they would be in heavy can position the balance of power it would be in get out he said vantage it could add valon it i believe to forty iran but there are four with the nuclear vapor we are it could power have equal power to the five days therefore this is a strategic mistake to go to

a nuclear weapon in fact it power and the strengths of iran comes not from nuclear weapon it comes from the those principles ensuring that a currency to share for example one of the principle is the east and in labor rights for nuclear energy or any technology and nobody can delete get this right i'm sure that nobody can do it get this right from your paper now bieber is impossible the second important point is no compromise on this principle therefore principle and no compromise on those principle at any price has given us a strength some power which is more popular for the nuclear weapon do you think it is possible for a country to have an air fleet to have airplanes to build airplanes and not have new truth here. is it it doesn't make sense why you see you have you do need to in order to defend yourself you don't need to have weapons of mass destruction mass destruction you need to conventional weapons that is why we have in and in many cases have said we want if you want and we will have

a stronger military in fact protégé shools commission and what if we have a pretty shoes in order to defend our serve but you know there's a way that we defend at eight years in poor do suspects and not only you do suspect that israel has nuclear weapons not only suspect the of course that is a high park or c. in fact the policy in this is jim for the last decades because they say that they have it but at the same time they deny it i want to remind you that the prime minister or america announced that they have it and dead ambassador that a president of the in vienna denied it and therefore i asked mr brad the former director general to send a fax finding mission and the pay for my name is said to be israel to know where all about was right or dead ambassadors are to die therefore i want to say of course what is threatening the security of regional security and global security is the nuclear depend capability

a nuclear weapon of design is regime in the middle east we are always supporting middle east feeds own from any mass destruction depending clued in nuclear do you think the issue of israeli nuclear possible nuclear weapons and israel will be discussed at the at the meeting. coming negotiations and i will not say any comment on what they would be discussing what we have already said that in this negotiation we are. going to discuss about the ways and means for remove the concerns in the last meeting in geneva our delegation raising concerns about disarmament about the issue of number of ration and the issue of in fact nuclear of many. nuclear vipan and deployed to europe is right in nuclear capability all these concern have been reflected of course one of the serious concern that we have at the same time we have these potential cooperating to take care of international and

global problems and iran as a great potential to cooperate with other partners in order to have solutions but i want to say that israeli nuclear capability is a real serious potential threat and that is why we had resolution in general conference that is why you have been so what are not his illusions in the i.a.e.a. expressing the concern about nuclear capability israel more than that you have noticed that israelis have continued to threaten to attack iran's notorious lation which is in contravention to that is illusion five three three which iran proposed in one thousand nine hundred fact i prepared it and it was adopted according to that resolution any attack or threat of attack against nuclear installations during operation or a kind of a construction. violation of united nations charter statute and international law and united is going to classes should act immediately therefore this is a pity united nations security council is keeping silent as they this is for this

is very disappointing for tony you have been more than once criticizing the confrontation policy of your negotiation partners but recently hillary clinton admitted that i quote iran can enrich uranium for civilian purposes at some future date once it has demonstrated it can do so in a reasonable manner and in accordance with its international obligations and quote iran can enrich uranium do you see these words are the state secretary as a breakthrough in the u.s. position well i have to say that after eight years and also after years of. involvement of united nations security council. and i expect that they have come to conclusion that they have miscalculated they have to reconsider whatever death done so on and they have to cope themselves with the reality that reality is iran is

mass set of enrichment technology and also the reality is that iran will not suspend its cooperation be die a and everything is under the full control of i.a.e.a. an international organization which is related to that therefore having set so knowing that everything is hundred twenty percent transparent and exclusive of peaceful purposes therefore they cannot ask through either to solution or any way to ask iran to suspend this is absolutely impossible and not logical therefore let's hope that all change the gear from confrontation to cooperation will i once again getting back to the to these to rule the gender in may two thousand and ten the last year the western countries rejected. agreements with turkey and brazil on low enrich uranium fuel can this particular agreement be renegotiated this later this month i have to say that this is of course a pity because i was at the head of the legation negotiation with delegations from

russia u.s. and france. over two thousand and nine forward if you would for turn our decision i am the same person that requested over twenty years ago in fact when i was ambassador in i.e. asking dr hans blix to ask the fuel for terrorist act and we got the fuel from argentina this time the via expected to say way to give them money to pay for it and get a few now they are put a condition there for a body in order to prove to the whole international community davi i have a political will in order to shore up transparency and to give confidence that this material is useful and the only preserve as is based on terror on declaration with the initiative of brazil and turkey. good friends the accepted to make another compromise it means to give one thousand two hundred kilograms send it to turkey so that we would be c. one hundred twenty kilograms up to twenty percent enrichment therefore teheran declaration is

a historical compromise and as now i am talking to you maybe later would be to change this proposal and ted on declaration is still on the table. your nuclear program ruse nuclear program has been making news last year and early this year and as a target of sabotage well experts believe that attempts on the lives of scientists nuclear scientists and also and also the computer virus of the bushehr plant they. caused a two year low in iran's nuclear program that you two years behind schedule already is that true i can assure you of that divided says exists different viruses damage the different computers in the whole word but there are anti virus is also and if people should show maximum ledger lines to protect their activities i can assure you that this virus has not been able to affect our centrifuges the city villages which were visited by ambassadors of recently they saw

a by get organized that all of them are working and they are rotating one thousand locations per second without any problem regarding of course as a summation of the nuclear scientists and terrorist activities this is the ugliest safire naaman are that we are facing and i am sure they are all public of the word and the scientists of the whole world should deplore this kind of the ugly phenomena and prevent such a thing to occur because the scientists of any kaante are the ward heritage of all words they belong to the whole humanity and therefore this matter is in fact a nuclear terrorist we can consider and we are going to pursue this method in vienna as a matter of serious concern for all sorry. no pay scientists particularly in all in all countries including yours or any countries they should be protected and this in fact. acts against humanity should should be fact that invented and deplored

thank you thank you very much you're actually saying just to remind you that my guest today was dr ali has got so tell me iran's permanent ambassador to the international atomic energy agency and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your say on spotlight you can always drop me a line we will be back with more first and comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay an r.t. and take a thank you very much. very first verses of the bible to all human beings are created but selling little came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or not just. sixty to seventy percent
