Iran not to give in to restrictions on peaceful nuclear program: Majlis speaker
TEHRAN, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) — Tehran will not give in to demands from the world powers for restrictions on its “peaceful” nuclear program, Iran’s Majlis (parliament) speaker was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency on Sunday.
The Islamic republic will not accept any limitation on its nuclear case but it is open to “logical” transparency measures asserted by the Iranian officials, Ali Larijani said at an open session of the Majlis.
He urged the other parties engaged in the nuclear talks to avoid resorting to what he called “deceptive acts” in the course of negotiations.
On Saturday, Abbas Araqchi, senior Iranian nuclear negotiator, said Iran would not retreat an iota from its nuclear rights in the run-up to a possible comprehensive deal with powers.
Iran and the so-called P5+1 group, which includes Great Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States plus Germany, agreed in July to extend the talks for another four months till Nov. 24, as they could not narrow down significant gaps on core issues during the past six months.
The two sides met again last week for three days in Austria’s Vienna without any major breakthrough.
