Iran can expel UN nuclear inspectors and end cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA) if you feel threatened, a senior advisor to Iranian Supreme Leader has warned. The comment was made a few days before the round of negotiations with the United States scheduled for the weekend.
The AIEA, in charge of monitoring Iran’s nuclear activities, has repeatedly raised concerns about the growing levels of uranium enrichment by Tehran, which now exceed the limits established by the nuclear agreement, formally known as the Comprehensive Joint Action Plan (JCPOA).
Iran has consistently denied that it is seeking nuclear weapons, stating that its program is for civil purposes.
Ali Shamkhani, a high security employee and an advisor near Aiatolla Khamenei, issued Severus Alert on a social media publication, citing Iran’s right to take “dissuasive measures” amid alleged “external threats.”
He added that the transfer of nuclear materials enriched to “safe places” can also be considered.
Negotiations between Iran and the US are expected to begin on Saturday (12) in Oman, according to the Iranian Semioficial News Agency Tasnim. White House officials said earlier this week that negotiations would be “direct”.
The Oman Foreign Minister should mediate discussions, which aim to facilitate communication between the two opponents. The Iranian delegation will be led by Foreign Minister ABBAS ARAGHCHI, while the American team will be headed by Steve Witkoff, a special US sent to the Middle East.
