it's our path now we're in this is the loyal of alleged russian arms dealer who could have brewed fouls to prove his client's innocence and the illegality isn't something you should in the us as his trial date is set the challenges include conspiring to kill americans and supplying weapons to terrorists who claims he's being used for u.s. political propaganda. and waging mass demonstrations are expected in new ways human rights groups prepared to the streets in protest against the impending deportation of a russian born in the eagle immigrant. moved from the office that he is seeking asylum case rejects. johnson none of them are going to government eases immigration

has. a new clear tools in istanbul and in style nato is no agreement is reached meaning sanctions will stay in place for the islamic republic claims it's not about lifting up time of weapons and that its nuclear program is peaceful the government says it shouldn't have to explain or justify its agenda any. and all starting with iran next easily go to. with the iranian ambassador to the international atomic energy agency he addresses european and american fears all on atomic iran. hello again or welcome to spotlight they interview show. today my guest in the

studio is highly as got a soul tally 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 peace for girls but many in the world fear the islamic 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 highly sometimes. 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 the yen imposed sanctions on the country four years ago they banned any uranium related corporation between tyrant and other countries and made the i.a.e.a. specials 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 le turney 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 i wouldn't 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 gives first of all it's got a pleasure to be with you have to clarify that was as a rather nice coating then i had

a discussion with media some intellectuals in paris in fact i was not relating what i said to the negotiation. or live for us when 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 know roughly forty kilogram have been produced and that we don't need to wait on data 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 or actor 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 it so fortunately 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 mr well ahead of the istanbul talks terror and 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 this truce 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 in why do you agree with the position of russia

china and the first position of russia and china was different from their position of e.u. that was the e.u. that they said that you better invite the spectre's which was unjustified because already inspectors are almost every day and that has base on activities and commitment under the n.p.t. in fact during this visit of ambassadors last week which i was there with them the ok generally by coincidence saw this specter doing their job this. visit of some diplomats to the i.a.e.a. is completed do it do different things russians are asking to postpone it but rick because we had already planned and many ambassadors prefer at this time therefore we couldn't dep us want them for 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 dismantling nyad a bit and have a big good feeling and the 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 with suppression i one hundred percent dividual respect disagree with you because you have to. make a distinction again between the spec sharon and our obligation and that of 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 monday special has been made in iran which is

unprecedented in history of i.a.e.a. what you were really ferreting 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 a not a legally binding. with no legal basis and this we cannot of course do that because this enrichment is one hundred percent under the control and surveillance cameras of i.e. and 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 this issue 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 e.u. treaty france germany u.k.

we did support of the us in fact pushed it politically and they the decided to send this matter to new york it was contradiction with this 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 send to new york but in the case of iran all live reports of director general for life is a eight years the director general has said that the are able to continue our inspection and there is no evidence of diversion because of these reasons and since that is solutions that have passed even by e.u. three sais that this. and was not legally binding and volunteer because of these forty says it is illusions of security council have no legal basis we will not implemented your ex and so you know when or listen to to talks to to to. the o.c.a. issues between iran and the western world i get the impression that it

resembles the famous beatle song you remember you say goodbye i say hello you say yes i say in there i say 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 sympathy here of course i'm not going to give any comment about the go shares but one thing is clear that the other spared no effort to prove to the whole world has our nuclear activities are exclusively for peace with their purses. as i said many people will believe you know and that is a problem that i think that through you i want to tell the whole war 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 he story pages of the story therefore the international community majority of the members of the whole war have supported and these are the ambassadors which accompanied me in the well in the present of a well over one hundred twenty countries have continued to support it only for your counties of dissent 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 . i can see that iran's nuclear activities were peaceful and we have they have inquired as and fully cooperate and we die yet only a few western counties they want to use i.e. as a tool in order to dictate from new york to vienna what to do or from washington on twenty two vienna 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 embassador of different countries and media to our nuclear stages everything is hundred percent transparent people 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 will 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 we have always said isn't a policy of cateau 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 we have this is our 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 no we shouldn't do that because i was not really isn't there that we don't know if we are doing we are sinners because another use 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 condition that was a precondition but we are ready as the president and i are all top office i've always said to negotiate with the mitchell to speak without condition and it says i lee i was gonna soltanieh iran's permanent ambassador to the international atomic

energy agency spotlight we'll be back shortly after a break so stay with us will continue in less than a minute and with. wealthy british scientists. the time to write free. markets. scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy comes a report on our. close up team to speak to the story. of the land developed by cossacks in ancient times. now wattie goes to the center of russian defense production. with christianity and shamanism

existed side by side for centuries. with people in remote villages cut off from the basics please take for granted ok i'm pleased to see a republic russia close up on r.t. . welcome back to spawn flight i'm al going off and just to remind you that my guest in the studio today is highly as god so tiny iran's permanent ambassador to the international atomic energy agency. you know. you said that you rand 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 the 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 late the man khomeini over twenty five years ago and in new york asians if elected the the horrible aspects of this is a clear whip and in fact in one of these statement called the people intellectuals writers and scientists to enlightened to people so that they can all prize about their nuclear weapon at that time off to a super bowl as and try to destroy this nuclear weapon and our prayer president right now the supreme leader has in many occasions also can see their discipline religiously forbidden and you know any can in fact the mass destruction including nuclear weapons but i want to today give another reason that i hope you and your distinguished years would be convinced you are not is that we are negotiating the

five plus one equals five power nuclear power where you have a nuclear weapons we are negotiating and we said we are negotiating with mutual respect and equal footing it means that you can sit it out or sell it cause power with other people have a nuclear weapon in order to discuss global and regional issues of the whole word now or less is 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 peace five or five countries we can out there for our. up there the would be in of decomposition the balance of power would be in the out of the said vantage it could be had volunteered ability for iraq but therefore with the nuclear vapor we are it cornered power have equal power with 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 enshrined out of courtesy to share for example one of the principle is there is an entirely of a right for nuclear energy or any technology and nobody can delay get this right i'm sure that nobody can do it get this right from your people or now people is impossible the second important point is no compromise on this pretty simple therefore principle and no compromise on those pretty simple at any price has given us a strength which is more common 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 structure 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 potentials convention and what if we were put in shoes in order to defend ourselves but you know there's a way that we defended eight years in poor do suspect and not only you do suspect that israel has nuclear weapons not only suspect the president of course that is a high park or c. in fact the policy in the history jim and for the last decade because they say they have it but at the same time they deny it i want to remind you that the prime minister wal-mart and now study have it and data ambasador that a president of the in vienna of the united and therefore i asked mr brady former director general to send a fact finding mission and we pay for a fact my name is said to be israel to know where all of that 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 dependent clued in nuclear do you think the issue of israeli nuclear possible nuclear weapons and israel will be discussed at the at the meeting of their coming negotiations i will not say any comment on what they would be discussing but 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 number of ration and the issue of in fact nuclear of many. nuclear vipan deployed in 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 severed or not is allusions in the i.a.e.a. expressing the concern about nuclear capability israel more than that you have notice that israelis have continued to threaten to attack iran is not the installation which is in contravention to date is illusion five three three which iran proposed in one thousand nine hundred fact i prepared it and it was adopted according to dad 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 confrontational 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 of 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 that they have to reconsider whatever they have done so on and they have to cope themselves with the a reality that reality is iran is master of enrichment technology and also the

reality is that iran will not suspend its cooperation we die a and everything is under the full control of i.a.e.a. an international organization which is related to that therefore harvey said so knowing that everything is hundred twenty percent transparent and exclusive of peaceful purposes therefore they cannot through either dissolution or any way to us 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 the east to rule adjourned 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 delegation negotiation with delegations from

russia u.s. and france. over two thousand and nine ford if you would for turn our decision i am to send person that requested over twenty years ago in fact when i was ambassador in. asking dr hans blix to ask the fuel for terrorist act on he got the fuel from argentina this time he via expected to say way to give the money to pay for it i get a few now they are put to condition therefore body in order to prove to the whole international community davi i have a political will in order to assure transparency and to give confidence that this material is used. as is based on terror and 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 he 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 as nuclear program has been making news last year and early this year 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 really is that true i can assure you of that divided says exists different viruses damage the different computers in the whole word but they aren't there's 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 a centrifuge is deceptive you just which were visited by ambassadors of essentially

they so by going on eyes that all of them are working and they're rotating one thousand locations per second without any problem regarding of course as a summation of the nucleus sorry it is and terrorist activities this is the ugliest safire naaman out that we are facing and i'm sure they are all public of the word and the scientists of the whole world should deplore this kind of ugly to phenomena and prevent such a thing to occur because the scientists of any kaante are the war terry cage 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 it is matter of serious concern for all sorry. these are nuclear scientists particularly in all in all countries including yours or any countries they should be protected and this in fact the. act of against humanity should should be fact prevented and deplored thank you thank you very much you're actually

saying just to remind you that my guest today was the doctor i lead 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 sales problems you can always drop me a line we will be back with more first hand comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay an r.t. and take care thank you very much. will. remind you the latest in science and technology from the ground. we've got the future covered.
