Leader's Top Aide: Removal of Sanction Should Not Depend on IAEA Approval
http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13940126001462

TEHRAN (FNA)- Supreme Leader's top adviser for international affairs Ali
Akbar Velayati underlined that the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, France
and Britain plus Germany) should start removing the western sanctions
against Iran immediately after Tehran and the world power strike a final
deal.

"The simultaneous restriction of Iran's nuclear capacities and the removal
of sanctions is an important demand by Iran which should be respected,"
Velayati told reporters and after his meeting with German Deputy Foreign
Minister Markus Ederer in Tehran on Wednesday.

He underlined that Iran will never accept to wait for the IAEA's approval,
and said, "If Iran begins restricting nuclear activities, but the other side
waits for the IAEA's confirmation of our measures to remove the sanction,
such a move will by no means be acceptable to Iran."

On Wednesday, the Iranian parliament's Nuclear Committee released a
factsheet to declare the revisions needed to be made in the Lausanne
statement that was issued by Tehran and the world powers as a framework
understanding at the end of their nuclear talks in Switzerland earlier this
month.

The factsheet which was presented by Head of the Nuclear Committee Ebrahim
Karkhaneyee stresses the necessity for respecting the redlines and
guidelines specified by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah
Seyed Ali Khamenei, making Iran's decisions and undertakings reversible to
enable the country to resume its nuclear operations in case of the other
side's non-commitment to its undertakings, and immediate termination of all
sanctions in a single step and on the first day of the implementation of the
final agreement.

The factsheet also necessitates commitment of both sides to their
undertakings based on the Geneva agreement, a fair and reasonable balance
between the gives and takes, taking good care not to impair the country's
security and military boundaries and national interests, providing 190,000
SWUs (Separative Work Units) of nuclear fuel enrichment capability needed by
Iran to produce fuel for the Bushehr nuclear power plant immediately after
the end of contract with Russia, safeguarding the nuclear achievements,
actual operation of all nuclear facilities of Iran not in words, but in
action, continued Research and Development (R&D) works and scientific and
technological progress in Iran and immediate application of R&D findings in
the country's industrial-scale uranium enrichment cycle.

The factsheet urges operation of 10,000 centrifuge machines at Natanz and
Fordo, a maximum 5-year-long duration for the deal and for Iran's nuclear
limitations, replacement of the current centrifuges with the latest
generation of home-made centrifuge machines at the end of the five-year
period.

Also last Thursday, Ayatollah Khamenei said that the underway talks between
Tehran and the world powers were merely limited to the nuclear issue, and
underlined that the sanctions against Iran should be annulled "on the same
day (of the implementation) of any agreement" .

He specified conditions for a final nuclear deal with the world powers, and
underlined that Iran doesn’t allow any inspection of its defensive and
military centers.

"They (the foreigners) shouldn’t be allowed at all to penetrate into the
country's security and defensive boundaries under the pretext of
supervision, and the country's military officials are not permitted at all
to allow the foreigners to cross these boundaries or stop the country's
defensive development under the pretext of supervision and inspection,"
Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a large number of Iranian people in
Tehran.

Elaborating on his position on the recent nuclear statement issued by Iran
and the G5+1 in Lausanne, Switzerland, he said, "I am neither in favor nor
against it since nothing has happened yet and no binding issue has occurred
between the two sides."

Ayatollah Khamenei underscored that he would support a final deal which
would guarantee the Iranian nation's honor and interests, and added, "I am
not indifferent to the negotiations but I have not interfered in the details
of the negotiations by now and will not interfere in the future either."

Ayatollah Khamenei stressed the necessity for continued progress in the
country's nuclear Research and Development (R&D) and development of the
nuclear industry, and said another important issue in the final deal is that
"the sanctions should be removed completely on the same day (of the
implementation) of any agreement".
