Iran Nuclear deal

Iran said on Wednesday it sought a strong and lasting nuclear agreement with world powers following talks with U.S.

Qatar will host indirect talks between Iran and the United States in the coming days, Iranian media reported on Monday, amid a push by the European Union to break a months-long impasse in the negotiations to reinstate a 2015 nuclear pact.

UN Security Council Resolution 2231 of 2015, endorsing the nuclear deal, imposed no blanket ban on Iranian rocket or missile launches.

IAEO spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi had earlier reported an accident at the enrichment facility caused by a "power failure".

Currently, there are many covert nuclear regimes, who don't admit to transgressions even when caught.

Iran warned Monday that re-imposed U.S. sanctions would cripple its economy and plunge the volatile Middle East deeper into crisis.

It's up to Europeans to decide who they want to trade with, says European Union foreign policy chief.

Tensions mount between Europe and Donald Trump's White House over Iran sanctions.

Trump's decision on Iran means companies worldwide must stop doing business with the country or run afoul of the U.S. government.

Trump's concerns include Iran's ballistic missile program and its involvement in Mideast conflicts, issues that aren't part of the international agreement.

For Western businesses, the 2015 nuclear deal meant access to Iran's largely untapped market of 80 million people.

Nafas shows "the obscene face of war that we should avoid, this is what politicians won't tell you," says director Narges Abyar.

Comments came weeks after US President Trump refused to re-certify the deal, arguing that Iran was not complying with it, in spite of UN nuclear watchdog saying the opposite.

"We have built, are building and will continue to build missiles," he told the Iranian parliament.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened to "shred" the accord if the "other side" scraps it.

The agreement ,which was spearheaded by Barack Obama, helps to limit Iran's capabilities to create a nuclear weapon.

The lawmakers who were briefed by US President Donald Trump's administration said an announcement on the nuclear deal will be made on 13 October.

Brigadier General Rasoul Sanayee Rad of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps made the remarks amid rumours Trump could designate the corps as terrorist group.

Tehran has promised "crushing" response to Washington if the elite Islamic Revolution of Guards Corps (IRGC) is labelled as a terrorist group.

He also called Kim Jong-un "Little Rocket Man".

Iran says Trump's "shameless and ignorant remarks" demonstrate his lack of "knowledge and awareness".

Remarks come as Israeli PM and world leaders gather to discuss the Iran nuclear deal at the UN assembly.

US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley said Iran should allow IAEA to inspect its military, nonmilitary and undeclared nuclear sites.

Washington imposed sanctions on six Iran-based satellite companies earlier this month.

Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri also asked US officials to exercise caution while speaking about 'powerful' countries such as Iran.
