The United States is opposed to Iran’s uranium enrichment program. The United States demands that Iran allow full disclosure of the enrichment program and international inspections of Iranian nuclear enrichment plants. The United States believes that Iran has engaged in deception about its nuclear research capabilities. The United States also believes that the plants disclosed previously are designed to produce weapons-grade uranium. Iran’s nuclear program is incompatible with international agreements for nuclear nonproliferation.
The United States contends that Iran’s attempts to enrich uranium, a key component in the development of nuclear weapons, present a real and serious risk to global security. The United States seeks to restrict the importation of “dual use” technology that may be used for both peaceful and military purposes. The United States respectfully asks the United Nation member states to impose inspections of cargo suspected of containing nuclear material and technology as well as inspections of the Iranian nuclear plants themselves. The United States demands that Iran suspend all uranium enrichment programs immediately. Failure to comply with these demands should be met with the stiffest of sanctions on Iran. The United States calls for tougher and tighter sanctions to be imposed, including blocking arms export, freezing assets, and banning all items that could lead to the development of Iran’s uranium enrichment program. Simultaneously, the United States encourages diplomatic and economic incentives to Iran for the suspension of all uranium enrichment programs.
While the United States condemns any continued uranium enrichment in Iran, it remains committed to using diplomacy to address the full range of issues and to pursue constructive ties with Iran. The United States seeks honest engagement grounded in mutual respect.
