Nuclear Issue

  • Parliamentarians discuss Iran's negotiations with the 5+1 Group:
    • Ahmad-Reza Dastgheib: "The position of the Westerners is not related to the nuclear issue. They are looking for pretexts rather than reaching a shared discourse. Therefore, they raise other issues at the negotiations. If they want the negotiations to reach a conclusion, they should return to the [previously] defined issues... Second, the West should prevent the influence of the Zionist lobby so that the negotiations return to their right track." 
    • Abd al-Reza Mesri: "The Westerners say negotiations have failed, meaning what they failed in their attempt to impose what they wanted upon the Iranian nation... The West is trying to take advantage of the situation in Syria, but Iran will not allow them to do so..."  
  • [E] Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereidoon Abbasi rejected the media reports claiming that a new malware has attacked the country's nuclear installations in Natanz which hosts enrichment facilities.
