Washington’s demands addressed to Iran, which US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo declared on Monday, are nonsense, because they leave no chance for clinching a deal, Russia’s representative at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mikhail Ulyanov said on Tuesday.
'That’s nonsense, nothing can be agreed on this basis,' he said from Vienna in a video conference.
Ulyanov pointed out that contrary to the US demands, it was impossible for Iran to terminate the recycling of plutonium.
'The United States is unable to understand that Iran has sovereign rights, including the right to civilian nuclear power,' he stressed.
Ulyanov also said that Washington’s decision to quit the Iranian nuclear deal was because of the current US administration’s utter incompetence and misunderstanding of the deal.
Pompeo said on Monday that the United States would exert unprecedented pressures on Iran, including the toughest sanctions ever, if Tehran refused to revise its policies. He put forward twelve conditions for concluding a new deal on the Iranian nuclear program.
