A nuclear deal requires compromise from Iran and the west

Posted on

At a meeting in Vienna on Tuesday, negotiators from Iran and six world powers will begin hammering out a long-term agreement that would resolve questions related to Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for respecting Iran’s right to use peaceful nuclear technology and a gradual lifting of sanctions.

American insistence on “zero enrichment in Iran” is one reason for the failure of past talks. Last November’s deal was only possible because the US was prepared to be more realistic. A comprehensive agreement must offer something for both sides. Measures that go beyond the NPT may be required for a time to build confidence. But Iran cannot be expected to agree to them forever.

Any deal will have to involve compromise on four main issues.

حسین موسویان در یادداشتی در روزنامه فایننشیال تایمز با اشاره به مذاکرات هسته‌ای ایران و گروه 1+5 که روز سه‌شنبه آغاز می‌شود تاکید کرد که اگر دو طرف بخواهند به یک توافق نهایی دست یابند لازمه‌اش این است که مصالحه کنند.

به گزارش خبرگزاری دانشجویان ایران(ایسنا)، حسین موسویان، عضو پیشین تیم مذاکره‌کننده هسته‌ای ایران در یادداشتی که در روزنامه انگلیسی فایننشیال تایمز منتشر شد نوشت: در دیدار روز سه شنبه در وین، مذاکره‌کنندگان ایران و شش قدرت جهانی درباره توافق درازمدتی گفت‌وگو خواهند کرد که می‌تواند مسائل مربوط به برنامه هسته‌ای ایران را در ازای احترام به حق ایران برای استفاده از فن‌آوری هسته‌ای صلح‌آمیز و لغو تدریجی تحریم‌ها حل کند.

Outlines of a Compromise

Posted on

The world powers and Iran can agree on six principles:

• No nuclear weapon in the Middle East.

• A ban on production of plutonium and reprocessing in the Middle East.

• Stopping the production of highly enriched uranium, with no enrichment beyond five percent in the Middle East.

• No stockpiling beyond domestic needs for nuclear civilian use.

• Establishment of a regional or international consortium for producing nuclear fuel.

• Regional confidence-building and verification measures by creating a regional authority in charge of regulating nuclear development and verifying its peaceful nature in the region.

This would be the best path to reach the “comprehensive package” deal on the Iranian nuclear dilemma. The next six months of diplomacy will be decisive and the world powers and Iran should be open to pursuing an agenda of long-term co-operation. Iran’s nuclear deal has the potential to begin controlling fissile material in the Middle East and take meaningful steps toward a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction.
