Iran Reveals What the U.S. Is Demanding in Negotiations

(MEMRI) Y. Mansharof and U. Kafash - On Nov. 18, Iran's Fars news agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), revealed what the American administration is demanding from Tehran in the nuclear negotiations. On the issue of uranium enrichment: Iran must cut to 500 kg. its reserves of uranium that it enriched to 3.5%, stop enriching uranium at the Fordow facility, and stop conducting tests of advanced-generation centrifuges. There is now an oral agreement that Iran may maintain a reserve of two metric tons of uranium enriched to 3.5% and that it may operate 4,700 first-generation centrifuges. Iran must switch the heavy water reactor at Arak (the plutonium track) to a regular reactor generating power using enriched fuel (i.e., the uranium track), and may not conduct research on reusing spent nuclear fuel rods, which would allow it to develop a nuclear bomb on the plutonium track. Iran must restrict the range of its missiles to a maximum of 150 km. Iran must join international nuclear conventions allowing snap inspections at every Iranian facility, including military ones. The sanctions on Iran will be lifted gradually over a period of up to 30 years. Tehran had rejected the proposal outright, calling it an American-Western plot aimed at dismantling the Iranian nuclear program. It should be noted that the Fars report may not be the final American text.
