Iran Press/ Iran news: Iran’s representative to the international organizations in Vienna, Kazem Gharib Abadi underlined Iran's inalienable right of enriching uranium, adding that it is not given by any country.
According to IRNA, Kazem Gharib Abadi wrote in official Twitter account of Iran diplomatic mission in Vienna: "Enrichment is an inalienable right of any member, delicately affirmed in a trade-off by the NPT. This is not given by any country, only to be revoked later. The USA officials' positions on this issue reminds me of Obama's remarks at Saban Forum in Dec 2013."
He added: "Now, you’ll hear arguments that say we can’t accept any enrichment on Iranian soil. Full stop. End of conversation. One can envision an ideal world in which Iran says, we’ll destroy every element and facility and you name it, it’s all gone."
"There are a lot of things that I can envision that would be wonderful," he noted.
Gharib Abadi went on to say: "I can envision a world in which Congress passed every one of my bills that I put forward. But, they have already gone through the cycle to the point where the knowledge, we’re not going to be able to eliminate."
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which monitors Iran's commitments to the nuclear program, in a statement on Monday affirmed Iran's crossing of a 300 Kg limit for enriched uranium reserves based on 2015 nuclear deal.
