Iran’s Consultative Assembly voted Sunday to force the government to increase uranium enrichment.
The Iranian Shura Council voted Sunday to force the government to increase the rate of uranium enrichment, in a new development, which comes two days after the assassination of one of Iran’s most prominent nuclear scientists, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. , while a conservative Iranian newspaper called for Haifa to be beaten in response to Zadeh’s assassination.
The new Iranian decision follows an earlier decision to cut commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal in response to the United States’ withdrawal from it. The agency “Sputnik” reported that the Iranian parliament voted by majority on a bill that obliges the government to raise the enrichment rate of uranium in the country to 20 percent. The law includes restoring the old Arak heavy water reactor design.
The bill was supported by 232 members of parliament out of a total of 246 deputies who participated in today’s meeting, while 14 deputies abstained from voting.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Muhammad Baqer Qalibaf said that the blood of nuclear scientist Fakhrizadeh “will remove restrictions on the nuclear program and pave the way for the lifting of sanctions against the country.” Mughal-Zadeh warned: “The criminal enemy will not regret the murder of Fakhri Zadeh, except with a strong response that will deter him from any future mistakes.”
No negotiations
The director of the Iranian president’s office, Mahmoud Vaezi, had earlier announced, after a cabinet meeting, that “there will be no new negotiations on the nuclear deal with the new US administration. The nuclear deal has been negotiated and the negotiation stages They are over”. He continued, “The United States has not fulfilled its obligations towards the nuclear agreement, and the most important condition for us is that all members of the Security Council respect their obligations towards the agreement.”
The British newspaper “The Guardian” said that the assassination of Fakhrizadeh may not have a significant impact on the Iranian nuclear program, in which he participated in the establishment, but it will make it difficult to recover from the nuclear deal that aims to restrict this program, which is the most logical motive behind the murder.
The newspaper saw that there is almost a consensus that Israel is behind the assassination, as reports indicate that the Mossad was behind a series of killings of other Iranian nuclear scientists, and Israeli officials hinted from time to time that these reports are some.
And if it is proven that the Mossad was behind the assassination of Fakhri Zadeh – as the report says – then Israel will seize the opportunity to carry out the green light operation of an American president, and there is no doubt that Donald Trump, who seeks playing the role of saboteur during the last weeks of his government, he will approve the assassination. If not, it helps to implement it.
The newspaper report included the opinion of Dina Esfandiari, a researcher at the Century Research Foundation, seeing that Israel could not carry out the assassination without getting the green light from Washington, explaining that, “With regard to motives, I think it is pressure Iran to do a stupid act to ensure that the administration’s hands are tied. Biden when he seeks to resume negotiations and stop the escalation. ”
The newspaper pointed out that the murder of the Iranian scientist serves other purposes, although to a lesser extent; Fakhrizadeh was the only Iranian nuclear scientist mentioned in the final evaluation of the military aspect of the Iranian nuclear program presented by the International Atomic Energy Agency, as the mastermind behind the “WADA Project” aimed at developing Iran’s ability to build a nuclear bomb.
Haifa coup
In context, an opinion piece published by the hardline Iranian newspaper Kayhan suggested that Iran should attack the Israeli coastal city of Haifa if Israel is responsible for the murder of Mohsenzadeh. The newspaper suggested carrying out any attack in a way that destroys the facilities and “also causes great human losses” to Israel.
Kayhan said Iran’s previous reactions to alleged Israeli airstrikes that killed the Revolutionary Guard in Syria were not enough to deter Israel.
And he wrote that hitting Haifa and killing large numbers of people “will definitely lead to deterrence, because the United States, the Israeli regime and their agents are in no way ready to engage in a war and a military showdown.” He said the attack on Haifa should be larger than Iran’s ballistic missile attack on US forces in Iraq following the US drone strike that killed Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani in January.
