(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 17. Iran's nuclearprogram includes everything except a nuclear weapon, MehdiMohammadi, the strategic advisor to the speaker of the Iranianparliament, wrote on his page on X, Trend reports.
As he noted, a nuclear program does not equate to a nuclearweapon.
In his opinion, it would make sense to leverage the nuclearprogram's capability to raise the level of work with substances andequipment in response to threats.
"This has been done before and can be done again," he wrote.
To note, the Comprehensive Plan of Joint Action on Iran'snuclear program was implemented between Iran and the P5+1 group(the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France, andGermany) in January 2016. The US announced in May 2018 that it waswithdrawing from the plan and imposed sanctions on Iran in Novemberof the same year. Iran has announced that there will be norestrictions on the Iran nuclear deal in 2020.
In late 2020, the Iranian parliament adopted a strategic plan tocounter the sanctions, citing the non-fulfillment of the JointComprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed between Iran and sixcountries and the imposition of sanctions on Iran.
Based on the decision of the Iranian parliament, as of February23, Iran stopped the implementation of additional measures and anadditional protocol included in the nuclear deal. As a consequence,the monitoring mechanism of the IAEA was reduced by 20–30percent.
