politicians say it's iran's a refusal to comply with previous u.n. security council resolutions to allow full inspection of your atomic sites this was a 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 of the due 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 under deplete takes of united for security council the 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 ferrying 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

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 over a say isn't a policy of cateau tennis the sanction and negotiation in principle is wrong and nobody can accept that it has been it has been on this globe for for for for centuries if we we have this is how things are 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 one of the heroes you sit down for me will confront this kind of mentality and that is why if you are. remember years back they were say they were saying that iran

iran, iran and iran. as we take a look at the rest of the world trying to deal with iran through discussions and negotiations, does anyone think they have stopped for a minute totheir accelerated attempt achieve nuclear weapon capability? does anyone doubt, given the that they have ignored with great impunity, u.n. resolution after u.n. resolution? does anyone decide that we are not being effective and we have not been able to influence policy. they look at the multilateral organization with great impunity. one of the great ironies is that every year mahmoud ahmadinejad appears before the u.n. he comes to the united states. he is able to express whatever he feels like in a the animus or rhetorical way. that same opportunity -- in a venemous or rhetorical way. there is someone who would love to come to the united states.

that's the reason why i'm not surprised by the fact that iran has satellite and space iran is a country of development of technologies and that's the food of obtaining nuclear technology was a country is entering the nuclear deal will have high tech industry and that universities will have the higher level to the country to become a leading man of some countries do not want the iran to be one of the leaders and be strong on a sphere of technology they know that we do not want to have nuclear weapons but they do not want us to become strong in the spheres of to finally. get the future of the iranian nuclear program do you see around to do and the end all they got into. we hope that the countries which committed a historic mistake and involve the one that will admit to this that we demanded they should stop passing on the war the soonest possible so there will be able to you know work for a shorter height he the topic they're discussing and there is a fiction about a laptop aligning to be the west we hope that our friends including russia will assist freezing the. and will not let us take

iran, it ran and iran.nd and their accelerated attempt to achieve nuclear weapon capability? does anyone doubt for a moment, given the fact they've ignored with great impunity to u.n. resolution after u.n. resolution? how many resolutions hesitate before the u.n. finally decided they were not being terribly affected and we have not been able to influence policy? it's a real challenge now for the united states, but the rest of the world cup in the multilateral organizations is great one of the great ironies in my judgment is every year, genocide appears before the u.n. fascinating. he comes to the 90s states and is able to express an event in venomous latecomer rhetorical way, whatever he feels like that same opportunity to express personal feeling is lost to mek and the iranian opposition. what i think is another irony is iran maybe she would love to come to the united states.

round of iran's nuclear program the international powers who carried out the two day talks with iran say they're disappointed with the outcome in istanbul where you go to pick an office there and tell us live now at your core there was a lot pinned on these talks wasn't there the world powers there must be feeling quite deflated really. unfortunate we see this long running dispute us field to move from the current deadlock and the two sides have you fields to agree on the mix of negotiations on iran's nuclear program according to the representatives of the six nations which include russia the united states germany france great britain and china. they were hoping to hold. open dialogue with. positive dialogue with north korea conditions prepared an updated version of the international atomic energy use energy agency's offer to enrich iran's uranium abroad and supply it with nuclear fuel for peaceful nuclear reactors thus providing international control over the process while iran has so far failed to officially reply to this offer and also according to the representatives of the six n

that's the reason why i am not surprised by the fact that iran lived amid satellite and space iran is a country of development of technologies and that's the food of obtaining nuclear technologies a country is entering the nuclear field will have high tech industry and its universities will be at the higher level too the country will become the leading one some countries do not want to iran to be among the leaders and be strong in a sphere of technology so they know that we do not want to have nuclear weapons but they do not want us to. become strong in the spheres of technology. if i thought i was a future of the iranian nuclear program do you see what's around to do and the end . you know we hope that the countries which committed a historic mistake them involved the year one and that will admit to this fact we demanded they should stop talks in the north as soon as possible so there will be able to be no corporation with the height of the topic they're discussing there is a fiction about a laptop a line to be the west we hope that our friends including about shock will assist freez

dispatch low in retreat uranium from iran. to russia for different purposes now last year the iranians agreed while talking to the turks and brazilians on something different they opted for turkey as eventual said country for transfer of these early you. relieve what is important here is to. forge the framework and agree upon practical technical and legal implications of the scheme and. what's the country of destination in this respect i think it's a secondary question tegra is accusing the six nations of scrutinizing its nuclear program whilst according to the iranian representative there are around two hundred nuclear facilities in europe alone which nobody pays much attention to just to explain to our viewers why is there so much attention from the i.e.e.e. on iraq no one tries to deprive the inherent rights over iran for peaceful. nuclear energy it is very consistent with the n.p.t. requirements. what is needed to bear in mind and what is inseparably linked to this proposition is the obvious fact that there are still unres

outside of iran. ending u.s. policy, i mean citizens. i think it's important that we embrace this movement for freedom. secondly, with the mek, yeah, i think it makes sense to take them off the terrorism list. you know, north korea was taken up the list. i don't know if you know this some time ago. and this is something that i'm not going to say. this is bureaucracies. you know, bureaucracies move slow. to those families got to do some kind of gigantic leaps. i'm not making any excuses, but this is something we need to reassess right away. and it seems that this is a nation, an important movement and we should take steps to make it happen. the third is the camp ashraf situation. obviously we've got to find ways to protect those iranians that are there. i think it's inexcusable that we're not doing it. talk about how they leverage with the government of iraq. we do have it. and so we should find ways to make that happen. not the same time, i think it's important to recognize why iran is important to am

we cannot stop iran. we might be able to persuade them. >> the war in terror is very much focused on afghanistan. a drawdown supposedly next year. symbolic for real? >> i do not think it will be a real drawdown. the talks should have started earlier. we had the experience in northern ireland with the ira. it took a long time with a group like this. we should start now but not expect a major outcome. the fighting will carry on at the same time. >> america will be, of course, publicly, at its head. you have to have channels. do you agree with that analysis? >> sure, and there is going to have to be a settlement about these things. we saw iraq. it will not be formally sitting down at a peace conference table, but there will be local conversations with taliban and other insurgent, and the goal will be to bring them up of the insurgency, to give up their arms, and focus on those elements that are irreconcilable. that is the process by which all of these insurgency's ultimately in. >> is going to take a lot of

is not about human rights in iran the whole thing is about iran's position in the world iran is a powerful country has a great deal of oil it has a great deal of military it also has a great sense of position the persian empire the through the tubes of it they also have a sense of grievance against the west for the coup in one nine hundred fifty two for the. protection of the oil for the imposition bashar and also the behavior towards the islamic republic and so i think we have to have a dialogue with iran they don't have nuclear weapons at the moment they are signatories to nuclear nonproliferation treaty they have withdrawn from the voluntary supplementary protocol i think we should be upping in gauge with iran rather than the sanctions policy and the isolation of iran engagement is likely to bring about improvements in human rights engagement is likely to bring about the prospect of iran working with the rest of the world and engagement would actually strengthen the hands of civil society in iran as well. thank you very much you very welcome thank you. very first verses of the bible tha

has called on international powers to supply fuel for iran's nuclear reactor otherwise it will use its own enriched uranium which would prove further talks. and if you right now. you characterize sanctions imposed on your country as illegal is there any proof of that and you have the honorable what. the heart of that is. based on the four pieces of evidence announced in vienna i mean team that the reason they opposed our national sanctions on us is illegal i ask international lawyers to correct me if i'm wrong because in proof number one they impose sanctions the not comply with cost of seat of the charter and international inspectors have visited the reactors they have the communication and samples of the tests if they found inconsistency they would have sounded really word to the agency's director and they just the director would have presented the report to the i.a.e.a. management and which of presenting the report to the security council that never took place in iran in two thousand and three would discuss these issues with the i.a.e.a. director and inspectors and none of them said

came in they have been you know involved in incidents where american citizens died in iran clearly i mean they meet the definition i think it's very much worth looking into what has been their record over the past few years but in the past yes they've been linked to among other things the taking of u.s. hostages in iran after the revolution they have carried out various terrorist terrorist acts they were aligned with saddam they said they attacked iran from iraq they were given refuge by saddam in iraq they aided him in his crackdown on shiites and kurds in the early one nine hundred ninety s. so it's just it's just deeply ironic that these conservatives would go and support this group that was aligned with saddam hussein well there has to be some reason right why are they doing it now why are they deciding to shield their eyes like all . they're wrong doings never happened i mean it's all in order to be that iran war drum we've talked about this before you essentially predicted that this is what was going to happen right i mean glad you brought that up because i think the last time

iran is scheduled to meet with world powers in istanbul over its nuclear program. a program it says is for making nuclear fuel and not weapons. and so tonight here is what richard found when he was escorted through the facility. >> reporter: at the tehran research reactor, we're first asked to wear lab coats. >> this is probably the most important piece of the equipment. >> reporter: and pocket-sized radiation detectors. precautions because the reactor is on. we pass through two thick metal doors to enter the reactor, built by the united states before iran's 1979 islamic revolution. now a portrait of ayatollah khomeini hangs on the wall. the core is about 25 feet below the surface of a cooling pool. the water glows with an incandescent blue light. it is very unusual for iran to allow anyone to tour its nuclear facilities, let alone take television cameras inside. the people here seem uncomfortable that we're here. we haven't been able to talk to any scientists directly and we're not allowed to take pictures of their faces. earlier iran's chief nuclear negotiator to

summary in fifteen minutes from now in the meantime he talks to iran's envoy to the international atomic energy agency that's in our special interview coming up next. you characterize sanctions imposed on your country as illegal is there any proof of that you have the. heart of that is. based on the four pieces of evidence announced in vienna i mean the team that the reason they opposed international sanctions on us is illegal i ask international lawyers to correct me if i'm wrong because in proof number one they impose sanctions the not comply with clos twelve seat of the i.a.e.a. charter international inspectors have visited the reactors they have documentation and samples of the tests if they found inconsistency they would have sent a report to the agency's director agency director would have presented the report to the i.a.e.a. management challenge which of presented the report to the security council that never took place in iran in two thousand and three would discuss these issues with the i.a.e.a. director and inspectors and none of them said the where and when consistencies more

the doors are still open they are they are ready for cooperation with iran iran and cooling it's being scrutinized and claims that is developing a peaceful nuclear program its intentions are peaceful as well as actually standing this is all quite. the ukrainian representative is standing for a full a nuclear disarmament in the water it's against nuclear arms and it's for its for peaceful nuclear technology for everyone iran claims that it was hoping for a productive positive discussion and dialogue as well which. they would hope would be based on a mutual understanding smoosh all ideas which are based on a respecting the rights of nations so that as if we're going to talk about corporations and the loosened rights of countries should be respected when we talk about people's rights and the rule of law everyone is in agreement that we have to respect each other and if we want to talk on the basis of the rule of law then we have to avoid certain preconditions and sanctions you must be respectful if you know dialogue is to develop so with a no for say stage on the next negotiations on this

it's a big twist in between your i think jim if i can stay with you you're also an expert on iran what do you think of that ratcheting up more pressure another round of sanctions. the use of force is still on the table as it were i mean this could be a big year when there's a lot of inflation in iran there's a lot of the sanctions are taking in effect and we see. again the issue of refined petroleum goods not getting into it i mean this could you see this is a year critical year for around as well and its troubled relationship with the west . yes i mean this is sort of a slow moving crisis here it will probably deepen unfortunately i'm a little hard wired up to most but i don't have a lot of optimism about the iranian situation we will get new a new sanctions resolution there will be increasing pressure on president obama to use military force that will increase not decrease over time the real question for me peter is what's going to happen inside of iran one of the i think one of the main obstacles to progress here has been the internal political divisions within the conservative camp

intervention and then went on to warn the whole world about what he perceived to be this danger from iran and i thought the whole thing was a travesty because this is meant to be an inquiry looking into the absolute finite details of the decision to go to war with iraq and it turned into from tony burke to the force and i'm quite pleased that he's been recalled to the inquiry and i hope this time the inquiry shows its mettle and goes through again with tony blair . the legal advice he was given why he sought a second u.n. resolution if he thought the first one was efficient to authorize an invasion and why he then recommended to parliament that there was an overwhelming case of the danger of weapons of mass destruction and why we should go to war and i think he's got a great deal thoughts are what are we expecting this time around today the question is going to be more robust i hope so and i think so because the chilcot inquiry feel quite nervous about public perceptions of their role and their effectiveness in. activity so i think this time around it probably will be quite tough and blai
