Iran And UN Deal Over Atomic Weapons Not Yet Struck

Iran And UN Deal Over Atomic Weapons Not Yet Struck

After two days of talks between UN officials on atomic energy and Iran state representatives, a deal on Iran’s controversial Nuclear program has not yet been struck.

The head of the IAEA, Yukiya Amano also said in an interview last week that he thinks chances for a deal being struck are not very good.

The IAEA want Teheran to address concerns that it has been working on building an atomic bomb before and during 2003 and also wants to investigate allegations that  Iran were testing nuclear triggers earlier this year.

With Teheran officials denying allegations that their nuclear program is aimed at anything other than the production of energy rumors say that they are stalling in regards to the IAEA deal so they can make a parallel one with the top 6 world powers (United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany)

This Saturday, January 19th Iranian media took Iran’s delegate at the IAEA talks Ali Asghar’s declarations and made them public. He said that the two sides came closer to a deal and “were able to, in fact, bridge the gap to some extent”.

He also added that Iran will not stop their nuclear program specifically their uranium enrichment program as of yet.
