Press TV has interviewed Mohammad Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran, and Soraya Sepahpour Ulrich, independent researcher and writer from Irvine, California to discuss the latest unanimous resolution adopted by the UN Security Council on Iran’s nuclear program.

Marandi believes the new UN resolution proves that Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities have been accepted by the United States and other P5+1 countries- the UK, France, Russia, China and Germany.

Iran’s policy of pursuing its peaceful nuclear program with vigor over the last decade was essential in forcing the US to recognize the Islamic Republic’s right to acquire peaceful nuclear energy, he says.

The professor argued that Iran also has some redlines such as the continuation of support for its allies in the Middle East and the rejection of the inspection of Iranian military sites by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). 

For her part, Sepahpour Ulrich thinks “Iran has been discriminated against under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)."

The IAEA pushed baseless accusations against Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and sanctions were imposed against the Islamic Republic, she noted, adding that the trend was based on inaccurate information provided to the United States by Israel.
