Sara Flounders: Iran nuclear file must be closed now
Press TV has interviewed Sara Flounders, the director of the International Action Center from New York, and Jonathan Fryer, a writer and lecturer from London, to discuss a recent report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran’s nuclear program.
Flounders said the issue of Iran’s nuclear program and the West’s unfounded accusations “is a file, a study, a charge that should never have been opened in the first place.”
Pointing to the IAEA’s bending to the US pressure, Flounders said the issue was used to pressure the European Union and quite a number of countries around the world.
She refers to the Islamic Republic’s calls for closing the file, saying, “There is a diplomatic agreement that has been reached; an agreement that ends the sanctions; and the only way for that to really move forward is to close this file.”
“There are loopholes even in the agreement with Iran that the US may want to use in the future ... and this is something that US history is full of,” she said.
The United States government has “never ever abided in their 200 years of history by any treaty or agreement that they made with oppressed or developing countries around the world or with their own indigenous nations right here in the US.”
“Given that history, it is essential that the file be closed,” Flounders said, adding that there was “no basis for this in the beginning and there is no basis for continuing it now, so close the file.”
Fryer, for his part, said, “It’s quite clear from the report’s findings that the concerns that some of the international community had about possible development in Iran have largely been laid to rest.”
As long as the IAEA Board of Governors does pass the report in mid-December, Fryer said, “we will be able to see the lifting of the sanctions.”
