Tehran’s nuclear program and what can we do?



Tehran’s nuclear program and what can we do?


I am following the Tehran’s nuclear program and I’m very tried about this. We, Iranian, know if the Mullah’s regime be successful in his program nobody couldn’t be a safe life so we can & we must to stand in front of this Regime for peace and democracy.
This is a part of the disquisition about Tehran’s nuclear program that I read it.A month out from a nuclear deal deadline, top US and Iranian diplomats gathered in Geneva on Saturday in an effort to bridge differences over how quickly to ease economic sanctions on Tehran and how significantly the Iranians must open up military facilities to international inspections.
The talks between US secretary of state John Kerry and Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif were likely to extend into Sunday, a negotiating round that officials described as the most substantive since world powers and Iran clinched a framework pact in April.

Kerry and Zarif met for six hours on Saturday, trying to overcome obstacles to a final nuclear agreement. They were the first substantive talks since Iran struck an interim accord with the US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China on 2 April.
“Secretary Kerry and Foreign Minister Zarif, along with their teams, had a thorough and comprehensive discussion of all of the issues today,” a senior State Department official said, without elaborating.
One of the issues still to be resolved is the push by the world powers for international access to Iran’s military sites and its team of atomic experts. Tehran wants sanctions to be lifted immediately after a deal is reached.
A senior US official said earlier there had been substantial progress in negotiations in Vienna in recent weeks on drafting a political agreement and three technical annexes on curbing Tehran’s nuclear program.
The US States has said it will not extend the talks beyond the 30 June deadline.
“We really do believe we can get it done by [June] 30th and we’re not contemplating an extension. We just aren’t,” said the official travelling with Kerry to Geneva, adding that Kerry’s schedule for June had been cleared to focus on the talks.
Asked before Saturday’s talks about completing the full accord by 30 June, Zarif said: “We will try.”
France has demanded more stringent restrictions on the Iranians and indicated discussions are likely to slip into July. Iran’s senior nuclear negotiator Abbas Araqchi also warned that the deadline might need to be extended.
Kerry was due to visit Paris on Monday after a quick trip to Madrid on Sunday.
A western diplomat said inspections of military sites by United Nations watchdog the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and access to Iran’s scientists were critical to checking whether Iran was pursuing a clandestine nuclear weapons programme.
“If the IAEA can’t have access to [the scientists] or the military sites then it’s a problem,” the diplomat said. “The IAEA needs sufficient access quickly to those sites to ensure things don’t just disappear.”
The State Department official took a similar view, saying without access “we’re not going to sign” a deal.
Iran denies any ambition to develop a nuclear weapon and says its programme is purely peaceful.
“The issue of interviews with nuclear scientists is generally off the table as well as the inspection of military sites,” Araqchi told reporters as he arrived for the talks with Kerry. “How additional protocol would be implemented is still a matter of disagreement that we are still talking about.”
Iran’s demand that sanctions be rescinded immediately after a deal is also holding up a settlement as the powers have said they can only be removed in staggered phases.
Tehran-based analyst Saeed Laylaz said he expected a deal to be finalised despite resistance from opponents in Iran and the US.
“Neither America nor Iran have a choice but to reach a deal,” he told Reuters. “Failure to reach a deal will fuel tension in the region.”
Mark Fitzpatrick, a former State Department official now at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said an agreement was likely some time in July.
“The most difficult compromises have already been made,” he said. “But the Iranians could overplay their hand on the incorrect assumption that Obama needs a deal more than they do.”




Concerns about human rights situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran

GENEVA (5 June 2015) – The detention of journalists and human rights defenders weakens the protection of human rights of all in Iran, United Nations Special Rapporteur Ahmed Shaheed has said today, expressing serious concerns at the arbitrary and unlawful a
rrest, detention and prosecution of journalists and rights activists in the country. 
“Silencing these critical voices is unacceptable - it undermines public debate and deprives Iranians and the rest of world of important information on the reality in the country,” said the independent expert appointed by the UN Human Rights Council to monitor and report on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“The recurrent use of vague references to threats to national security, propaganda against the system and insult to authorities to prosecute and detain journalists or activists is in contradiction to both international norms relating to freedoms of expression and association and the principle of legality,” Mr. Shaheed stated.
The independent expert was equally disturbed by the detentions of Atena Farghdani and Nargis Mohammadi, activists known for their human rights work. Ms. Faraghdani, a children’s rights activist and artist was recently sentenced to 12 years and nine months in prison for ‘spreading propaganda against the system, gathering and colluding against national security and insulting members of the parliament and the Supreme Leader’.
Ms. Mohammadi, the former vice-president of the Defenders of Human Rights Centre and one of the founders of the group ‘Step by Step to Stop the Death Penalty’, was arrested on 5 May 2015 in order to serve the remainder of the six-year prison sentence she had received in April 2012 on charges of ‘assembly and collusion against national security, membership in Defenders of Human Rights Centre, and propaganda against the system’.
“Human rights defenders play a fundamental role in ensuring a democratic society which respects human rights,” the expert said, reminding the Iranian Government of its responsibility to ensure human rights defenders do not face prosecution for promoting and advancing human rights in the country. 
Mr. Shaheed’s call has been endorsed by human rights expert Mads Andenas, who currently heads the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, as well as the UN Special Rapporteurs on human rights defenders, Michel Forst; on freedom of expression, David Kaye; on independence of the judiciary, Gabriela Knaul; and ; on torture, Juan E. Méndez. 
The UN human rights experts jointly urged the Iranian Government to release all journalists and rights defenders who have been arbitrarily and unlawfully arrested, and currently face detention and prosecution.
The Special Rapporteurs are part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council’s independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. Special Procedures’ experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. They are independent from any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity.

What are you looking for in the atomic discussions with the regime of mullahs?


What are you looking for in the atomic discussions with the regime of mullahs?

Based on what we have received from the resistance of Iran we found out that the regime of Iran have started a new relation with North Korea.
Yesterday we were witness that the Iranian diplomats had a visit with the foreign minister of United States in Geneva. From what we read in the mass media it seems like they are after finding a solution for the economic sanctions in Iran.
What United States wanted was to have constant inspections from the military facilities of the regime of mullahs in Iran but for actualizing this request they didn't have enough decisiveness. What we get from reading the news it seems like they are after reaching to a solution with the mullahs in atomic issue before their election; this is what the majority of the members of the congress in United States are agreed on. 
But what Mr. Obama is incautious about is that the regime of mullahs is using the most benefit from his weakness in his policies for getting more time and more privileges.
The experiences have proved that the regime of mullahs would never give up towards what US want. And discussion with the regime that is not obligated to any of international principles is nothing besides wasting time. And as the French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Wednesday the first and the last condition for having talk with this regime is having constant inspections from their military sites.
What is taking every one in stress and anxiety is the support of this regime from international terrorism specially that everyone can see their footsteps in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, very clearly and obviously.
When the regime's atomic issue and the subject of his international terrorism would come together it would bring the world close to the necessity of taking a serious 
decision towards them as soon as possible.


For getting to know what could be the best and the most conclusive decision in facing with the regime who is calling the world in a great challenge; we suggest you to come to the yearly gathering of the resistance of Iran in Paris on June 13; to put the most international pressure on them by taking more conclusive policy towards this regime. We together can change the international policies.
