| 2015-07-23 |
| [ALMANAR.LB] Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday that the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... Security Council (UNSC) has unequivocally recognized the Islamic Theocratic Republic's right to enrich uranium. "Iran sought to establish its right to enrichment, and today, the UNSC has explicitly acknowledged our country's enrichment right," Rouhani said during a cabinet session. The six countries that were parties to the negotiations on Iran's nuclear program admitted that the anti-Iran sanctions had been ineffective, the Iranian president said, adding that the UNSC, which itself imposed a series of sanctions on Tehran, unanimously endorsed a draft resolution on the lifting of the bans. Iran and the P5+1 countries -- the United States, Britannia, La Belle France, China and Russia plus Germany -- succeeded in finalizing the text of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in Vienna on July 14 after 18 days of intense negotiations and all-nighters that capped around 23 months of talks between Iran and the six world powers. Under the JCPOA, limits will be put on Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all economic and financial bans, against the Islamic Theocratic Republic. Iran says won't accept curbs beyond 10 years [Ynet] Iran will not accept any attempt to extend sanctions relating to its nuclear program beyond 10 years, the Islamic Theocratic Republic's senior nuclear negotiator, Abbas Araqchi, said on Wednesday. Speaking about a historic nuclear accord with world powers agreed on July 14 in Vienna, he told a news conference broadcast live on television that any attempt to reimpose sanctions after they expire in 10 years time would be a breach of the deal and would have "no credibility". |

| #3 Rouhani has it wrong. The UNSC has unequivocally recognized Iran's right to enrich uranium 235 because there is gold in them thar hills for companies in their country that will now be able to sell to Iran. It is all about money, not long term security from MMs getting and rattling nukes. |
