Different talks between Iran and P5+1

Defining a permanent and upgradeable nuclear talks' framework between Iran and the West countries may take a long time, but despite the complicacy of issue, achieving "constructive understanding and positive atmosphere in negotiations" called so both by Iran and P5+1 is a significant opportunity - maybe a pathway to lead to a big deal - for resolving Iran's disputed nuclear program.

What happened during yesterday talks between Iran and six major powers headed by Iranian Supreme Security Council Secretary Saeed Jalili and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton?

Ahston recognized Iran's right to peaceful nuclear activities in framework of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and Iran promised to keep talks with P5+1 seriously to eliminate the concerns over alleged military dimension of its nuclear program.

It would take a lot of time to define upgradeable framework as I said, but as a first step Iran can suspend enriching 20-percent uranium for a while in exchange for avoiding further tightening the Western sanctions, not necessarily halting the already imposed ones previously.

Avoiding to involve other issues, such as human rights, Iran's support of Syria regime, Hizbullah and others, as well as the sides' political difference in views can help the progress of talks.

Iran can halt enriching uranium to 20 percent easily, it has about 100 kg of 20-percent enriched uranium, meanwhile the first 20-percent uranium fuel bars were loaded to Tehran pool-type nuclear reactor in February 2011 and no other one will need more fuel.

For a second step, Iran can accept Additional Protocol of NPT and allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to visit its nuclear facilities whenever they want. Iran had accepted IAEA's cameras to be launched in its nuclear sites before, except some cases such as Arak heavy water plant, and can extend the supervision of IAEA over its nuclear facilities.

Last week, the head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Fereydoon Abbasi announced the possibility of halting enrichment of uranium to 20 percent, this is a quite good signal.

Sanctions on Iran's oil export, especially the latest rounds of them imposed by the U.S. and the European Union, which will come into force soon, has affected Iran's economy significantly. For instance, cutting Iranian oil purchase by Greece, Germany, Spain, France and Britain alongside 22-percent decline in China, Japan and South Korea's oil purchase from Iran - Iran's major crude oil customers - and USD rate increase in Iran by 70 percent, etc.

If the Western countries recognize Iran's right to continue peaceful nuclear plans in the framework of NPT and Additional Protocol, then Iran can cooperate more and deeply.

Iran may pursue reaching a point when it will be technically able to make nuclear weapon whenever it decides, but it does not mean Iran is producing nuclear weapon.

Recognizing Iran's right to peaceful nuclear activities allows Iran to pursue its goal; its maximum achievement would be taking a place among such countries as Japan, South Korea, Germany and others who can produce nuclear weapon but don't.

There is no other alternative except increase of supervision of IAEA over Iran's nuclear facilities, avoiding mixing up political issues with nuclear ones and taking a technical approach not political one, because Iran's nuclear progress has passed the point of no return.

In case of lifting a part of sanctions against Iran after the country will fully cooperate with IAEA, signing a big deal with Tehran will be possible. Giving the guarantee by the West to not attempt collapsing Islamic Regime and moving Iranian enrichment facilities abroad, to such places as Angarsk uranium enrichment plant in Russia.
