The international community and the Islam republic of Iran will
meet next week to try to finalize the deal called “agreed last November“ within
the next six months .The deal called for a comprehensive agreement on Iran’s
nuclear program that has been the speculation and controversy in international relations
for nearly three to four decades now. Iran deputy foreign minister Mr. Javad
argued that it has been a long way that Iran wanted to develop a peaceful
nuclear program only to have met America’s intransigence .I found it surprising
in this news article that it mentions that it was the U.S that supplied Iran
with the Tehran research reactor called “TRP” in 1967, under President
Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace Programme. The backup of the story is ironic in
many aspects, the reactor initially was supplied to Iran with the intention of
reaching up to 20,000 megawatts electricity but following the Islamic revolution
the western countries backed down on the agreement.
Consequently Iran is claiming in this article that it is the
western powers especially America that forced Iran to gather its scientific
intellectuals to work out a solution out of the blockade imposed by America.
Thus, Iran reject the fault on the west by recalling the snobbishness of the
west to deny Iran of its rights to pursue a peaceful nuclear program. Recalling
the 10% investment that Iran made in the French Eurodic Project that should
provide Iran with some enriched uranium but due to American opposition the investment
was frozen. The banned according to Mr. Javad had caused Iran to go around “begging”,
adding that “we are not a country that begs. We will never beg”. He also stated
that the advancement made by Iran and the deviation of course of the initial
project was simply a by-product of the west policy of depriving a nation of
access to modern technology for peaceful ends.
This article is just one among many of the correlates on the
Iran issue, off course it highlights Iran’s position on the issue but it also
show how the miscalculations of America had deviated a peaceful program to a
far more advanced technology than is needed in such circumstances. But again
this is just the standpoint of one party among many other parties which account
for the advancement of the peace Talks. Anyway we cannot give complete trust to
these information provided by Mr. Javad as we cannot give credits to the
American administration interpretation on this matter. From my own point of
view, only a compromise among the negotiating parties largely based on Iran and
the U.S would prove fruitful and probably relax the atmosphere between the U.S
and Iran. We are most probably going to witness more shuttle diplomacy and negotiations
before the parts engaged find a
comprise. I would say that the six months plan is bold and leave me skeptical
to whether both parties will abide to the general interest of world peace and
let aside their narrow interest.
