Senior Iranian officials now say that Tehran will not suspend its contested nuclear enrichment program until the West first agrees to lift all economic sanctions on the country.

Tehran issued its new demands on Tuesday, just days after Western nuclear negotiators failed to hammer out a deal to halt Iran’s contested enrichment program for at least six months.

Top Iranian officials now say that they will only continue negotiations

IF the West agrees to FIRST lift the crippling economic sanctions that originally pushed Tehran to the bargaining table.

The developments came on the same day that Iran’s top nuclear official announced that the country would NOT be reporting a host of new nuclear facilities to international nuclear inspectors.

“We can negotiate about suspending part of our nuclear activities only if the entire sanctions program is annulled,” said Ahmad Salek, chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s Cultural Commission.

This is part of the debate between hardliners (representing the crisis
war survivors) and the moderates (representing the rising generations
who grew up after the war). However, this is by no means the official
Iranian position. Iranian officials would be delighted if they could
negotiate even a tiny reduction in the sanctions, because they would
see that as the step in a process that would quickly gather momentum.
