Iran must “stop” enrichment of uranium and develop long -range missiles and should allow inspectors in its military structures, the United States Secretary of State said Marco Rubio on Thursday on Thursday after a tour of negotiations.
Rubio’s comments highlight the main disagreements in the negotiations between the countries to resolve the long dispute on the Iranian nuclear program, with the president of the United States Donald Trump, threatening bombings in the country of the Middle East in case of agreement.
“They have to stop sponsoring terrorists, they must stop helping Houthis (in Yemen), they must stop building long -range missiles that have no other purpose but that have nuclear weapons and must stop enriching,” said Rubio in an interview with Fox News.
Iran has repeatedly affirmed that it will not give up its missile program or the e -revocation of uranium: a process used to produce fuels for nuclear plants, but it can also produce material for the atomic head.
Thursday, an Iranian authority told Reuters that the fourth round of negotiations that took place in Rome on Saturday had been postponed and that a new date will be set “depending on the approach of the United States”.
Rubio said that Iran should import uranium enriched to its nuclear energy program instead of enriching it at any level.
“If you have the ability to enrich 3.67%, it takes only a few weeks to reach 20%, therefore at 60% and therefore 80 and 90% needed for a weapon,” he said.
Iran claimed to have the right to enrich uranium based on the terms of the non -nuclear proliferation treaty. The country denies wanting to build a nuclear bomb.
Rubio also said that Iran will have to accept that Americans could be involved in any inspection regime and that inspectors will have to have access to all structures, including the military.
Washington is increasing the pressure on Iran. Trump said Thursday that all Iranian or petrochemical oil purchases should be interrupted and that any country or person who buys any product in the country will immediately be subject to secondary penalties.
Iran spoke against this approach this Friday. “At the same time, he underlines his commitment in the path of diplomacy and declares his willingness to continue the negotiations, Iran will not tolerate approaches based on threats and pressures,” said the Iranian foreign ministry.
