Iran sanctions should be lifted as soon as nuclear deal signed (Russian Deputy FM Sergey Ryabkov)

Sanctions imposed on Iran by a UN Security Council's resolution must be cancelled together with the signing of the agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told TASS on Friday.

"We confirm our position that the sanctions secured in a UN Security Council's resolution should be lifted simultaneously with the agreement’s signing. But this does not mean that the whole range of sanctions will be cancelled ," Ryabkov said.

Iran and six powers (Russia, US, UK, China, France and Germany) reached a breakthrough agreement in Switzerland’s Lausanne last week on restricting Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for gradual lifting of sanctions. The deadline for coordinating the final agreement is June 30.

According to the deal, Iran will not enrich uranium no higher than to 3.67% for the next 15 years. Tehran will also cut its stockpile of low-enriched uranium from around 10 tons to 300 kilograms. Iran agreed not to set up new facilities for uranium enrichment in the next 15 years, and vowed not to reprocess spent nuclear fuel and conduct research in this sphere.

Ryabkov said the sides managed to agree on key points during the talks in Lausanne. He added that hard work was to be done on the final agreement. "We should now concentrate on writing the [final] text," he said.

    "Entre las cuestiones no resueltas figuran la posibilidad y las condiciones para levantar el embargo armamentístico impuesto a Irán; la Federación Rusa exige su cancelación prioritaria como primera medida después de alcanzar el acuerdo (sobre el programa nuclear iraní", insistió.

    EEUU, otros países occidentales e Israel sospechan que Irán pretende fabricar armas nucleares.

    En 2005 y 2010 Washington impuso una serie de sanciones económicas contra Teherán a raíz de su programa nuclear.

    En 2012 la Unión Europea introdujo un embargo a la importación de petróleo iraní.

    En 2007, Moscú y Teherán firmaron un contrato de casi 800 millones de dólares para el suministro de 40 lanzaderas del sistema antiaéreo S-300PMU-1. Tres años más tarde, el entonces presidente ruso Dmitri Medvédev canceló la transacción para no infringir las sanciones internacionales contra Irán.

    Teherán respondió con una demanda judicial que podría costarle a Moscú hasta 4.000 millones de dólares. Rusia propuso hacer las paces y prometió suministrar al país persa el sistema antiaéreo Tor-M1E.......................http://sptnkne.ws/dde

  3. Russia, Iran Start Oil-for-goods Swap ...

    Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday paved the way for long-overdue missile system deliveries to Iran and Moscow started an oil-for-goods swap with Tehran, showing the Kremlin's determination to boost economic ties with the Islamic Republic.

    The moves come after world powers, including Russia, reached an interim deal with Iran on curbing its nuclear program and signal that Moscow may have a head-start in the race to benefit from an eventual lifting of sanctions on Tehran.

    The Kremlin said Putin signed a decree lifting Russia's own ban on the delivery of S-300 anti-missile rocket system to Iran, removing a major irritant between the two after Moscow canceled a corresponding contract in 2010 under pressure from the West.

    A senior government official said separately that Russia has started supplying grain, equipment and construction materials to Iran in exchange for crude oil under a barter deal...........REUTERS.......voanews.com
