Washington restores exemptions related to the Iranian nuclear program that Trump canceled two years ago

2022.02.05 – 01:47

Baghdad – people  

The United States has re-introduced waivers related to the activities of the Iranian civil nuclear program, which it canceled in 2020 during the era of former President Donald Trump, at a time when talks to save the nuclear agreement entered a critical stage .  

“We have decided to reinstate a sanctions waiver in order to allow outside participation” to ensure “non-proliferation”, a senior US official said, due to “increasing concerns” arising from the continued development of Iran’s nuclear activities.  

He added that this decision should also “facilitate” the “technical discussions” that are “essential in the last weeks of the talks”, referring to the negotiations that will resume in the coming days in Vienna between Tehran and other great powers.  

“The waiver itself will be necessary to ensure Iran’s rapid compliance with its nuclear obligations” in the event of a settlement in Vienna, where the negotiations are taking place, he said.  

He stressed that even without an agreement in the Austrian capital, “these technical discussions will continue to contribute to achieving our non-proliferation goals.”  

But Washington stresses that this is “not a concession to Iran” nor is it “a sign that we are on the verge of reaching a consensus” to save the 2015 agreement that is supposed to prevent Iran from developing an atomic bomb.  

These exemptions relate, in particular, to the Tehran research reactor and the heavy water reactor in Arak, which has been converted under the eyes of the international community in a way that makes it impossible to produce plutonium for military use.

Shafaq News/ A source close to the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, confirmed today, Friday, that al-Sadr’s tweet regarding the nomination of the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Hoshyar Zebari, does not mean withdrawing al-Sadr to support this nomination.

The source told Shafaq News Agency, “Al-Sadr, through a tweet, wanted to show that there were no suspicions on the part of the competent authorities against Zebari, especially his candidacy was checked by more than one regulatory authority, and it is free of any files with these regulatory authorities.”

And he indicated that “the directive was issued to the Sadrist bloc, by voting exclusively for the candidate for the presidency of the Republic, Hoshyar Zebari, and there is no change in this position, and his call to the deputies comes that their support for Zebari is confirmation that there is no real file condemning him, so he does not want any suspicions against the new president and the Sadrist bloc, after the vote.” It will be at a meeting next Monday.

The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, called earlier on Friday for his bloc’s representatives not to vote for anyone who did not meet the conditions to run for the post of President of the Republic.

Al-Sadr wrote in a tweet on Twitter, which was followed by Shafak News Agency; “If the candidate of the ally of the Kurdistan Democratic Party – rather an absolute – for the presidency of the republic does not meet the conditions, I call on the reform representatives not to vote for him,” referring to each candidate who did not meet the conditions according to Al-Sadr’s vision.

Al-Sadr added in his tweet; We are advocates of reform, not advocates of authority and rule.
