Tehran Hardens Nuclear Stance
(Wall Street Journal)- Farnaz Fassihi- Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, told Iran's parliament on Wednesday that Iran wouldn't compromise on its right to enrich uranium, casting doubts on whether the country could reach a deal during talks with international powers in Moscow this month. Jalili's narrative suggested a hardening of Iran's position. He said Iran had recently threatened to pull out of the talks if they only focus on the nuclear issue and don't address Iran's other concerns such as human rights in Bahrain and piracy in the Persian Gulf. Jalili also suggested the West was conducting a colonial war against Iran to keep it from scientific advancement.
