A New Narrative of Iran's Nuclear Project What was Mirkhusein's role in this case?
In an interview with "Insaf News", Majed Tafarshi, a historian and political analyst, discussed the details of the formation and expansion of Iran's nuclear program.
According to Tafarashi, at the beginning of Khatami's government, Mirhossain Mousavi tried to transfer the responsibility of the Atomic Energy Organization to Julmarza Aghazadeh; The action was proposed as part of the idea of expanding this organization and turning it into an institution equal to the Ministry of Petroleum.
He believes that Mousavi and several political figures of the time, including Aghazadeh, Khatami and Hashemi, emphasized the expansion of the nuclear program; While Ayatollah Khamenei did not have a particularly favorable opinion of this process at first, he continued to oppose it.
Also referring to the change in relations between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency, Tafshi believes that the terms of interaction were different in the first years and gradually with the exchange of agency managers and the increase of external pressures, relations became more tense.
In another part of this conversation, he saw the public plan of the need to build more nuclear weapons for local and factional consumption and warned that such atmospheres could lead to the weakening of currents that support the negotiations and form the basis for an alliance of other countries against Iran.
According to Tafarshi, if a country really intends to build nuclear weapons, it will not go this way with slogans and public advertisements.
