Iran will emerge “resolutely”, “from July 7”, two more of its commitments made in the framework of the international agreement on its nuclear program of 2015, reported Tuesday the agency Fars citing a senior Iranian official.
In a context of increasing tension, Tehran announced on May 8 that it was no longer feeling bound by the limits that this agreement reached in Vienna in 2015 with six international powers imposed on its reserves of heavy water and enriched uranium.
This announcement, presented as a response to Washington’s one-year-old decision to unilaterally exit the agreement and reimpose sanctions against the Islamic Republic, was accompanied by an ultimatum.
Tehran had indeed given “60 days” to the other states parties to the Vienna Pact (Germany, China, France, Great Britain and Russia) to help it bypass these sanctions that paralyze its economy, especially its financial system, and its oil exports.
Otherwise, Tehran had threatened to end the restrictions on “the degree of enrichment of uranium” (limited to 3.67% by the Vienna Agreement) and to resume a project to build a reactor heavy water at Arak, put to sleep with the agreement.
On Tuesday, the Fars agency said it received an “exclusive note” from Admiral Ali Shamkhani, secretary-general of the Supreme Council for National Security (CSSN) in which he said he was tired of the “insolence” of European countries. According to him, they exercise “increased pressure” to force Iran “to continue fulfilling” its commitments “without the other parties” filling theirs.
As a result, says this note, “based on the decision of the National Security Council” announced on May 8, “the second stage of Iran’s commitment reduction plan (…) will begin resolutely from July 7” .
In this way, “countries that have taken the” patience + “of the Islamic Republic for weakness and lethargy, will realize that Iran’s response to the aggression of the US drone (shot on June 20) will not be different from that “which will be opposed to their” sly political efforts to restrict the inalienable rights of the Iranian people, “Fars adds quoting the note.
