Iran rejects Obama's demand for 10-year nuclear halt work

Iran on Tuesday rejected as "unacceptable" a demand by U.S. President Barack Obama that Tehran freeze its sensitive nuclear activities for at least 10 years, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
"Obama’s stance ... is expressed in unacceptable and threatening phrases ... Iran will not accept excessive and illogical demands ... Tehran will continue nuclear negotiations with the six powers," Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying by Fars.

In an interview with Reuters on Monday, Obama said Iran must commit to a verifiable halt of at least 10 years on sensitive nuclear work for a landmark atomic deal to be reached between Tehran and six major powers.

  1. Iran rejects Obama nuclear call before Netanyahu speech...

    Iran has rejected as "excessive and illogical" a demand by US President Barack Obama that it freeze sensitive nuclear activity for at least 10 years.

    Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif was quoted saying Mr Obama spoke in "unacceptable and threatening" terms.

    Mr Zarif said talks on Iran's nuclear programme, which are nearing a critical 31 March deadline, would continue.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to urge the US Congress on Tuesday to oppose a deal.

    He was invited to speak at the US Capitol by Republican House Speaker John Boehner, angering Democrats.

    Mr Netanyahu - who faces domestic elections in two weeks' time - will not meet Mr Obama during his visit to the US..........http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-31713824

  2. Netanyahu warns US Congress of Iran’s ‘march of terror’...

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned US lawmakers that any nuclear deal with Iran would threaten US and international security in a controversial speech Tuesday to a joint session of the US Congress.

    In a pugnacious speech, interrupted by numerous rounds of applause and occasional cheers from his audience, Netanyahu called on the US Congress to “stand together to stop Iran’s march on conquest, subjugation and terror”.

    Expressing his staunch opposition to ongoing nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran, Netanyahu maintained that “Iran has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted” and warned that any deal would “all but guarantee” that Tehran will get nuclear weapons.

    The leader of what is widely believed to be the only nuclear armed nation in the Middle East, despite Israel’s refusal to acknowledge its nuclear arsenal, also warned that “the greatest danger facing our world is the marriage of militant Islam with nuclear weapons''.................http://www.france24.com/en/20150303-netanyahu-us-congress-israel-nuclear-iran/
