Tehran has told an Iranian delegation in Paris for nuclear talks with representative of the EU's big three to adopt a tough stance in their discussions, sources close to the Iranian parliament said yesterday.
"We are on the verge of either giving in forever to politicized demands initiated by the United States, or making clear that countries like Iran cannot be simply deprived of legitimate rights such as peaceful nuclear technology," the parliamentary sources said.
Iranian officials from the foreign ministry and atomic energy organization are involved in reportedly difficult talks in Paris with representatives from the UK, France and Germany over Iran's controversial nuclear program.
"Before going into any details, the main question in Paris remains whether Iran should have the right to have peaceful nuclear projects or not," the sources said.
"The three EU states had in October last year granted Iran the basic right to have such a technology and even promised assistance but later revised their standpoint due to what Tehran believes was American pressure," the sources added.
Tehran has called on the EU to stick to agreements made last October and not let the nature of the issue become political.
The EU three, in line with the International Atomic Energy Agency, have charged Iran with not fully disclosing information about its nuclear program.

AERIAL INCURSIONS: The incidents are a reminder that Russia’s aggressive actions go beyond Ukraine’s borders, Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha said Two NATO members on Sunday said that Russian drones violated their airspace, as one reportedly flew into Romania during nighttime attacks on neighboring Ukraine, while another crashed in eastern Latvia the previous day. A drone entered Romanian territory early on Sunday as Moscow struck “civilian targets and port infrastructure” across the Danube in Ukraine, the Romanian Ministry of National Defense said. It added that Bucharest had deployed F-16 warplanes to monitor its airspace and issued text alerts to residents of two eastern regions. It also said investigations were underway of a potential “impact zone” in an uninhabited area along the Romanian-Ukrainian border. There
The governor of Ohio is to send law enforcement and millions of dollars in healthcare resources to the city of Springfield as it faces a surge in temporary Haitian migrants. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on Tuesday said that he does not oppose the Temporary Protected Status program under which about 15,000 Haitians have arrived in the city of about 59,000 people since 2020, but said the federal government must do more to help affected communities.

A Zurich city councilor has apologized and reportedly sought police protection against threats after she fired a sport pistol at an auction poster of a 14th-century Madonna and child painting, and posted images of their bullet-ridden faces on social media. Green-Liberal party official Sanija Ameti, 32, put the images on Instagram over the weekend before quickly pulling them down. She later wrote on social media that she had been practicing shots from about 10m and only found the poster as “big enough” for a suitable target. “I apologize to the people who were hurt by my post. I deleted it immediately when I
