Iran has increased highly enriched uranium production, according to a UN confidential report , as Tehran said on Saturday he had received US proposals. UU. To resolve his long nuclear dispute with the West.
Iran rejected the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA), the last movement in the efforts of years to restrict its nuclear activities for fears that seeks to develop nuclear weapons.
The OIEA report, seen by AFP, said Iran had sharply increased its enriched arsenal or uranium up to 60 percent, close to the level of approximately 90 percent necessary for atomic weapons.
Iran rejected the report, which arrived in high tensions in the Middle East on Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, with Tehran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs by calling him a “political” maneuver.
The Ministry accused Israel of providing “unreliable and famous information” to the OIEA for the report, “contrary to the principles of professional verification of the OIEA.”
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said early that he has received “elements” or an US proposal for a possible nuclear agreement of five rounds of conversations mediated by Oman.
Omaní Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busidi, “made a brief visit to Tehran today to present elements of a proposal from the United States that will respond properly in line with the principles, national interests and rights of the people of Iran,” said Araghchi, Saint, said Saint X.
The OIEA report said Iran had an estimate of 408.6 kilograms or uranium enriched up to an axis up to 60 percent of May 17, up to 133.8 kilograms from the last February report.
The total amount of Iran enriched uranium now exceeds 45 times the limit authorized by the 2015 agreement with the world powers, and is estimated at 9,247.6 kilograms.
“The significant production and accumulation of uranium highly enriched by Iran, the only state of non -nuclear weapon that produces such nuclear material, is of a serious group,” said the OIEA.
In a separate in -depth report, IIAA criticized Tehran’s “less satisfactory” cooperation about its scrutiny or nuclear program, specifically pointing out Iran’s lack of progress in the explanation of Nedarratitas.
– Iran says that the ‘unacceptable’ nuclear arms – – – – – –
Western governments have long suspended Iran to try to develop a nuclear weapons capacity to counteract the widely suspended but not declared arsenal from their Israel arch-foe.
Iran has denied having sought nuclear weapons and says that uranium needs for civil energy production.
After the Oiea report, Israel accused Iran of Iran of being “totally determined” to acquire nuclear weapons.
“Such an enrichment level only exists in active countries that pursue nuclear weapons and has no civil justification,” said a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
In response, Araghchi reaffirmed the long -standing position of the country, saying that Tehran rejected nuclear weapons.
“If the problem is nuclear weapons, yes, we also consider that this type of weapon is unacceptable,” said Araghchi, Iran’s main negotiator in the conversations, in a televised speech. “We agree with them on this subject.”
Araghchi’s comments occurred a day after the president of the United States, Donald Trump, said they will “cannot have a nuclear weapon”, while the expression hoped to reach an agreement soon.
On Thursday, Araghchi attacked what he called “media speculation” that the two parties were close to an agreement, saying that “I was not sure if” an agreement was “imminent.”
Iran has maintained five rounds of conversations with the United States on a new agreement with the main powers after Trump left the duration of the process as president in 2018.
No date or place has yet announced for the next round, but Araghchi said Wednesday that he was waiting for an announcement of the mediator Oman in the “next days.”
Washington has said that Iran’s uranium program must Cesar, but Tehran insists that he has the right to pursue him under the nuclear non -proliferation treaty.
– ‘Very good talks’ –
Israel has repeatedly threatened military action, after irritating the duration of Iranian aerial defenders, two fire exchanges last year.
Trump said Wednesday that the United States was having “very good conversations with Iran”, adding that he had warned Netyahu against hitting his nuclear facilities, since it would not be “appropriate at this time.”
Trump has not ruled out military action, but said that Hens Space to first reach an agreement, and has also said that Israel, and not the United States, would take the initiative in such attacks.
Trump adopted a policy of “maximum pressure” against Tehran after leaving the 2015 agreement and reimulating the hunger sanctions that the agreement had raised in exchange for restrictions not monitored in Iran’s nuclear activities.
Iran continued to honor the agreement for a year, but then dates back to its own fulfillment with its terms.
The enriched uranium up to 60 percent is far beyond the limit of 3.67 percent established by the 2015 agreement.
In recently, Tehran has said that if an agreement arrived, reached, it may consider allowing inspectors to unite the IEA monitoring equipment.
