TEHRAN, Nov. 09 (MNA) � The spokesman of AEOI has said warning by Parliament about dismantling centrifuges suffers untimeliness, since �we have not yet acted so that they could warn us accordingly.�


Behrouz Kamalvandi who was speaking to Mehr News pavilion in the 21st Press Expo in Tehran on Sunday, believed that warnings had roots in parliamentarian�s personal tastes and prejudices, and not well-documented based on facts; �if we have a will to implement the JCPOA and receive stronger assurances, we should do commitments which would be returned back first; we have currently 19,000 centrifuges of which 10,000 are not working which should be dismantled, and if situation arise, we could install more advanced alternatives,� he emphasized.

�We believe that by December 15, we will continue other parts of the commitment and the powers will also have to do their share of commitment; this reduced the time of waiting to minimum; the dismantling of centrifuges would last at least 2 months and a half, however we are capable of doing that within a month and a half, so no one could perceive of concession or suspension,� he said, calling for the opponents to speak documented based on facts and not based on personal whims and caprice.

�The reality is that we are in preliminary part of the commitments; we will go forward and then in specific points we will stop and see whether the west does its share of commitments, and if so, we will continue after December 15; if the IAEA reports sooner than the time necessary, so much so good,� Kamalvandi told Mehr News. �We specifically plan to address those parties voicing concerns [in the Parliament] about damage inflicted upon our nuclear program and sanctions; these two concerns are legitimate altogether, and no rationale would justify just one of the concerns. We work to address these concerns simultaneously,� he added.

About sale of UF6 in international markets, Kamalvandi said that Iran had been now a member of the club of countries active in dealing nuclear material; �in the past, Iran had been only an importer; now, we, for the first time, export our enriched uranium in the market,� he said.

On Salehi�s recent visit to Japan and Arak heavy water complex, the AEOI spokesman said that Mr. Salehi�s major objective was to attend nuclear disarmament and international security conference (Paguash) in�Japan; �no issue had been raised about Arak heavy water complex in Paguash reportedly; however, some countries had voiced willingness to work with Iran in redesigning the complex. Any country, including 5+1 would join us in the issue,� Kamalvandi concluded.
