Iran\u2019s chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili advised the so-called P5+1 group (Consisting of the USA, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany) to seize the opportunity to reach an agreement on nuclear talks with Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jalili was talking to journalists after a dinner meeting with the EU foreign policy head<\/a> Catherine Ashton on Wednesday, he recalled the 2010 Iran\u2013Brazil-Turkey deal to swap Iranian uranium stockpiles as an opportunity that the west failed to seize.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTehran’s declaration was about the supplying of Tehran’s medical reactor with 20% uranium but instead of seizing the opportunity they [the west] issued resolution 1929 [against Iran]\u201d Jalili said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Iran signed a joint declaration with Turkey and Brazil on May 16, 2010 to ship 1,200kg of low enriched uranium to Turkey for a later exchange of 120kg of enriched isotope for its medical nuclear reactor in Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>But within hours after the deal was announced by Brazilian and Turkish leaders the US rejected that and pushed ahead with sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>After the swap deal failed, Iran which was in need of 20% enriched uranium for its medical reactor developed its nuclear program to produce 20% uranium itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201c[After Tehran’s declaration failed] , Iran supplied itself with 20% enriched Uranium (According to the rights of NPT memebers) and [the P5+1] lost the opportunity opened up by the Tehran declaration. Then they [after three years] in Almaty-I asked to talk about 20% enrichment,\u201d said Jalili in a press conference on Thursday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe Iranian nation [never] retreats from its rights. I hope this time they study our proposals in the Almaty-II talks to avoid later regrets,\u201d he said as a warning that Iran would go further on its nuclear program if the west continues to ignore Iran\u2019s proposals.<\/span><\/p>\n

EU foreign policy head Catherine Ashton and Iran\u2019s chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili had a dinner meeting in Turkish city of Istanbul, on May 15. The meeting was a follow up to last round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 held in Almaty, Kazakhstan on April 5-6.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference after the Almaty talks<\/a>, Jalili said that Iran provided a comprehensive operational plan to the P5+1 and it is now up to the group to decide on how to respond to the Iranian proposals.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
