Iran’s Parliament Asserts Unwavering Commitment to Nuclear Rights

In a recent statement, Iranian lawmakers expressed strong opposition to comments made by U.S. officials regarding Iran’s nuclear rights, specifically uranium enrichment. These remarks were made by lead U.S. negotiator Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to reports from Press TV. The lawmakers emphasized their perspective on the current state of the U.S. government and its international standing.

The statement from the Islamic Consultative Assembly highlighted several key points:

  • Declining U.S. Power: The lawmakers asserted that the United States is experiencing a significant decline and is currently in a fragile state.
  • Support of Terrorism: They accused the U.S. of supporting both state and non-state terrorism, particularly in light of ongoing domestic protests across numerous states.
  • International Relations: The statement mentioned that the U.S. is entangled with over 100 countries due to its unilateral policies and tariffs.

Furthermore, the lawmakers pointed out that the perceived weakness of the U.S. government has led to a retreat in its military actions, particularly in Yemen, where U.S. bombings have ceased. They noted, “This regime is a supporter of both state and non-state terrorism. Domestically, it is facing popular protests in dozens of states, and internationally, it is entangled with more than 100 countries due to its imposition of tariffs and unilateral policies.”

In their statement, the Iranian lawmakers also addressed the U.S. approach to negotiations with Hamas. They stated that despite issuing severe threats and setting deadlines for the release of Israeli captives, the U.S. had no choice but to engage in negotiations and allow humanitarian aid to flow. The statement read, “The statement said that despite issuing severe threats against Hamas and setting deadlines over several months for the release of Israeli captives, the US ultimately had no choice but to enter into negotiations with Hamas and, in exchange for the release of a dual-national prisoner, permitted the passage of humanitarian aid trucks.”

Additionally, the lawmakers suggested that U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking a diplomatic achievement to bolster support for his fellow Republicans ahead of the upcoming Congressional elections. They implied that this necessity is driving U.S. negotiations with Iran. “A regime so deeply gripped by internal crises and repeated external failures is in no position to dictate terms to any nation, especially not to the great and independent nation of Iran,” the statement emphasized.

The lawmakers firmly defended Iran’s nuclear activities, asserting that they are both legal and legitimate under the provisions of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the statutes of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). They stated, “According to Article IV of the NPT, each member state possesses the inalienable right to research, develop, produce, and use nuclear energy. Accordingly, the Islamic Republic of Iran is legally entitled to benefit from the entire nuclear fuel cycle, especially in the field of enrichment.”

Moreover, they highlighted that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful, supported by confidence-building measures and inspections by the IAEA, which have confirmed its non-military nature. “The Iranian nation has never sought nuclear weapons, nor does it seek them. The only regime in the world that has used nuclear weapons to massacre people in other countries is the United States,” the lawmakers asserted.

In response to the U.S. rhetoric, the statement concluded with a vow that such claims would not affect Iran’s policies. “The empty rhetoric of these criminals cannot impact Iran’s policies and that the lawmakers will by no means tolerate any form of overreach or arrogant behavior from our nation’s adversaries,” they declared.

The Iranian lawmakers pledged to defend the interests of their nation vigorously, stating, “By employing all available capacities, we will steadfastly defend the interests of our great nation, and our government will act in line with these laws and policies.”

This statement from Iranian lawmakers not only reflects their stance on the ongoing discussions regarding nuclear rights but also highlights the broader geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran. As both nations navigate these complex dynamics, the implications of such statements will likely resonate in international relations for the foreseeable future.

In conclusion, the Iranian lawmakers have made it clear that they view the U.S. position on uranium enrichment and nuclear rights as an overreach, and they are committed to upholding their rights as outlined in international treaties. As the situation develops, it will be essential to monitor how these tensions influence diplomatic relations and regional stability.
