Tehran: Retention of Videos of Iranian Nuclear Facilities Expired

A return to the nuclear deal between the United States and other world powers with Iran may not take place. Tehran said that the storage period for video recordings from surveillance cameras of Iranian nuclear facilities, which were installed under a temporary agreement with international inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has already expired.

This was stated by the speaker of the Iranian parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

As Iranian hardliners have demanded that Tehran remove the surveillance footage, officials have postponed the IAEA head's pre-planned press conference in Vienna. This means that negotiations between the agency and Tehran have continued.

Discussions further emphasized that the window for reaching an agreement has narrowed even further. Already, the Islamic Republic is enriching uranium and accumulating it in quantities significantly exceeding the volume permitted by the 2015 nuclear deal.

The "nuclear" talks were accompanied by conflicting information coming from Iran from anonymous sources. This likely reflects a conflict between the relatively moderate administration of outgoing President Hassan Rouhani and the hardliners who may come to replace him.

Last December, Iran's parliament approved a bill partially suspending UN inspections of its nuclear facilities unless European signatories secure Tehran's oil and banking sanctions by February. By this time, the requirements of the Islamic Republic could not be satisfied, then the IAEA concluded a deal for three months, which provided for the storage of images from surveillance cameras of Iranian nuclear facilities. And if by that time, that is, by May 21, the sanctions have not been lifted, Tehran threatened to delete the records.

Whether Iran has fulfilled its threat is not yet known for sure, but with a high degree of probability the images are still intact.

So the Israelis had a whole bus of floppy disks with the Iranian nuclear program, they did not give a ride. So erase, there is nothing interesting. Or give it to the Mossad for the collection. How hard it is to deal with gentlemen if they are also cheats.

"A return to the nuclear deal between the United States and other world powers with Iran may not take place." The deal is a normal bargaining. The parties will make concessions, so they bargain, But no, everything will remain the same. Although, you need to keep your promises. Then there is more respect.

Well, the Americans should write this on their foreheads with an indelible marker. They got out of the RIAC, and nothing happened.

... and with renewed vigor they continued to cut the yadrenbaton!

[Asad]

With a positive outcome, the Iranian-US deal does not give us anything good for us, 4 million barrels a day will not allow oil to rise in price significantly.

[Thrifty]

The Persians do everything right, since we are talking about the existence of the state of Iran at least options - the USA ceases to stifle the economy of the Persians, or go with the IAEA at the same time a field, a forest, a vegetable garden away. ..

Ayatollah mode goes into a tailspin according to internal logic.
A peaceful solution to abandon the military atom is becoming ever more illusory, a military solution to the issue is becoming more and more real.

Reaction of VO readers to your comment

I didn't think that North Korean generals and Hamster Eun himself read VO)))

Well, but seriously .. Despite the fact that Eun is far beyond reality in words, in fact he behaves rather modestly. The atomic bomb for him is not so much a weapon as a way of earning money. The country is running out of bread, a couple of test launches with blanks instead of warheads follow in the direction of Japan, and you look - caravans with grain are pulling And again everything calms down .. Because when he sits quietly, who needs him at all?
With Iran, everything is different - ambitions, potential, fanatical religious ideology, the scale of sabotage and subversive work. And the internal, as I wrote, the logic of this regime, which pushes it to military aggression - not in words, but in deeds.

[Lisiy Prapor]

I mean, Milosevic did not have a nuclear program, and Gaddafi did not, and Hussein had only a chemical one, oh yes, as it turned out, he did not have one either. And Eun has, as they say, feel the difference.

[Iris]

Well, at one time Hussein had a nuclear program, only he abandoned it, and not as a result of "sanctions of the World Community", but directly as a result of the Israeli strike on the reator in 81 year. Being a generally not stupid person, he never returned to this ..
But, as for Eun, - well, he apparently does not represent a threat, according to military analysts, even with a bomb.
Well, a bomb, yes. But, as our Commander-in-Chief said: "The military potentials of North Korea and Russia are incomparable." They are not only incomparable with Russia, but in general with none of their immediate neighbors, except perhaps South Korea, and Mongolia.

[abrakadabre]

Well, at one time Hussein had a nuclear program, only he abandoned it

But I would not refuse and bring it to completion, I would drink sherbet and eat it with baklava. If he refused the program, he was hanged. And the country was bombed in the Middle Ages. A perfect illustration of government priorities for Iraq's neighbor Iran.

[Kuzmitsky]

It is not known for sure whether Iran has a bomb or not. And all the same, no one dares to invade there - neither the States, nor Israel. It turns out that nuclear weapons work well for Iran and provide some kind of insurance. And it doesn't even matter whether it actually exists or not. The main thing is that everyone thinks that there is.

[abrakadabre]

It is not known for sure whether Iran has a bomb or not.

It is known. No, for now. They themselves make, and do not receive ready-made, like Israel or Pakistan. But it will be soon. For the example of other countries trampled by NATO is right before our eyes.

[Iris]

It is not known for sure whether Iran has a bomb or not. And all the same, no one dares to invade there - neither the States, nor Israel.

Iran is a huge country with powerful potential and economy, in many respects oriented towards war. This is the main reason why they do not dare to invade there. Israel, in general, needs an invasion of Iran like an umbrella for a fish: these countries do not have territorial disputes, as with Syria, or disputes over energy resources, as with Lebanon, or disputes over water. Live, as they say, live, make good money. For a hundred years, no one would need Iran if it were not for its contacts with Hamas and Hezbollah. And, of course, if not for the bomb.
There is a huge difference between making a bomb and having a bomb, and the Ayatollah is well aware of this.
Unlike, for example, India and Pakistan, for which this is a factor of parity, the same Nna, who uses a bomb as an instrument of economic extortion, the Ayatollah's goal is completely clear, many times declared and enshrined in STATE law - the destruction of Israel, that is aggression. That is why the Ayatollah will not hide the bomb like an ace up his sleeve. As soon as (if) the bomb is ready, the world will immediately know about it in the most reliable way.

And for this reason, the development of this depressing weapon for the economy and absolutely unnecessary strategically is bringing the Ayatollah's regime closer to disaster.

[abrakadabre]

the development of this depressing for the economy and absolutely unnecessary strategically weapon

About the depressiveness of one of the most high-tech and knowledge-intensive industries in the modern world, with the development of a bunch of related areas - ridiculous, I appreciated ... About the absolute uselessness of nuclear weapons in maintaining national sovereignty from well-wishers from NATO and Israel - too.

the same Eun who uses the bomb as a tool of economic extortion

Even funnier. You have confused the DPRK with the United States and its satellites. For the DPRK, that for Iran, the possession of nuclear weapons is a matter of purely guaranteeing territorial integrity and non-interference in internal affairs from the outside. There is no outward expansion in the doctrines of both countries. And if not for the external obsessive salespeople of "democracy", nuclear weapons would have surrendered to these countries, like ballet slippers to a cow.

If my comment made you feel better, I'm glad, although I didn't mean it on purpose)))
Have a nice day !

[Iris]

Hardly. If what I know about the Israelis is true, then, had he not given up the bomb, he would not have reached the noose.
However, after the Kuwait raid, his fate was a foregone conclusion.

As for the Middle Ages, no one brought more harm to Iraq than he himself - not Iran, not the United States. There is only one more “far-sighted” politician in the Middle East who also trampled down his country in the Middle Ages. Sits now on the throne of our bayonets.
