In response to the question of how much hope can be had for the resolution of the other two alleged sites, Karimi said: As mentioned, this requires continued cooperation between us. It seems that if the technical matters are done carefully, the Agency will not refuse to report correctly. Therefore, the matters considered by the Agency must be done technically carefully, and the necessary political acumen must continue in the legal and political aspects so that the issues are accurately reflected in the Agency's reports.
In response to the question, some believe that this issue showed that the dispute between Iran and the Agency is not an insoluble issue. What is your analysis of this issue, this foreign policy analyst said: Yes. After all, with all the political details, the Agency is a technical institution and cannot deviate from its technical approach beyond a certain point. This is an opportunity for us to resolve our issues with the Agency. Of course, what we say about resolution is reflected in the Agency's literature in its own way, which is certainly useful. By resolving our issues at the Agency, we must take the opportunity to further secure the nuclear file from others who are willing to do this, most notably Israel.
In response to the question of how necessary and how likely it is that the Agency will not easily ignore the possibility of Israeli sabotage affecting the alleged site and carry out the necessary follow-up, Karimi said: It is necessary, but the possibility is not high. After all, we also make assumptions about Israel's influence and are confident in the support that Israel has from the powers. But in negotiations with the Agency, these issues should always be used as a trump card.
In response to the question of how this interaction and cooperation between Iran and the Agency can be maintained in light of the published news, this international affairs analyst said: Yes. It can be said that the Atomic Energy Organization has followed its path, which is one of cooperation and is not unlike the path of the previous government. By focusing on technical matters in the Atomic Energy Organization and professional negotiations with the Agency, this path can be continued.
In response to the question of how this atmosphere can be improved so that the West does not pressure the Agency against Iran’s legal nuclear measures through political means, Karimi said: “After all, all parties are making efforts. Of course, the Europeans are not reluctant to subside our nuclear issue. But perhaps in cases such as Germany, they do not play a constructive role. At the same time, we should also take advantage of the negotiation and political possibilities such as the United States and Britain in this matter.”
In response to the question of how Iran and the Agency can confront Israel’s political games in the field of Iran’s nuclear activities, this international affairs analyst said: “This is not an easy task, but it is possible. We need to update our image of the world in different dimensions. We should not fall into intellectual and cognitive-perceptual pits. In some cases, our perception of the international environment may need to be corrected or refuted. We should not close our minds to false or challenging information. We should also interpret our concepts and vocabulary with new literature and political dynamics in the international environment. We should also present our narrative to the public. This is something our parties are doing regularly.
In response to the question of how you analyze the upcoming scenario regarding the resumption of negotiations to revive the JCPOA, given the events that have occurred, and whether we can hope that this process will cause serious changes in the process of revitalizing the JCPOA in the short term, Karimi said: We are far from that point at the moment. The person in charge of the negotiations is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has a different spirit than the Atomic Energy Organization. At the same time, these cases are certainly considered to be removing obstacles from the negotiations. However, considering the talents, when the negotiations themselves, which also have the 4+1 countries and the United States on their other side, will revive and have the possibility of being revived, does not seem to be an urgent matter.
