US allows Iran temporary continuation of Arak, Bushehr, Fordow projects



Sputnik - The United States has allowed three nonproliferation projects in Iran to continue amid sweeping sanctions re-imposed on the country, the US Department of State said in a release on Monday.



"We are not issuing waivers for�any new civil nuclear projects. We are only permitting the continuation for�a temporary period of�certain ongoing projects that impede Iran�s ability to�reconstitute its weapons program," the release said. "We are specifically permitting nonproliferation projects at�Arak, Bushehr, and Fordow to�continue under�the strictest scrutiny to�ensure transparency and maintain constraints on�Iran."


The State Department said Iran cannot be trusted to�have vital constraints on�its nuclear program lifted and the US government remains committed to�ensuring that Iran will never come close to�possessing a nuclear weapon.

The United State is re-designating the Atomic Energy Organization of�Iran and 23 of�its subsidiaries and placing new limits on�Iran�s nuclear program significantly beyond�current restrictions while Iran will not be able to�pursue any new nuclear facilities with�foreign assistance, the release explained.

If the United States determines at�any time that the work conducted pursuant to�the waivers that have been granted is anything other than�what Washington has authorized or that Iran has reneged on�its commitments, it reserves the right to�modify or revoke the waivers immediately, the release said.
