Iran nuclear chief urges West to save historic deal
Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi
London - Al Maghrib Today
Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi is urging the West to change course in the Middle East in order to save the historic atomic deal, saying “the moment of truth has arrived.”
The accord, reached between Tehran and world powers in Vienna in July 2015, saw Iran drastically curb its nuclear activities. In return, nuclear-related Western and UN sanctions were lifted.
But writing in Friday’s Guardian newspaper, Salehi, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, said negotiating agreements with Western powers had been a “mixed experience” for Tehran.
“Often, following some hard-won engagement, some Western nations, whether distracted by shortsighted political motivations or the lucrative inducements of other regional actors, walk away and allow the whole situation to return to the status quo ante,” he said.
Salehi was writing against the background of increasing US-Iran tensions since President Donald Trump came to power.
He said the nuclear deal could be saved but it would take concerted action and a clarification of Western security policy in the Middle East.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
