Iranian regime has rejected the inclusion of 2 nuclear sites in negotiations

The Iranian regime and the six world powers have not reached any agreement on Arak heavy water nuclear power plant of and the Fordow underground uranium enrichment site, the senior Iranian regime nuclear negotiator said in Tehran on Thursday.
'In principle, no agreement has been made on any topics pertaining to the nuclear issues of
Iran yet. And the difference over Arak heavy water reactor and Fordow uranium enrichment are still in place,' said Abbas Araqchi.
 Under an interim deal reached between Iran and the P5+1, including Britain, France, the United States, Russia, China and Germany, that went into effect on January 20, the Iranian regime would suspend some sensitive nuclear activities in exchange for limited sanction relief.
The Iranian regime agreed to taking some steps back in its nuclear program as a result of being domestically isolated and internationally rejected and placed under sanctions.
However the political exports believe that the P5+1 appeasement of the Iranian regime regarding the nuclear issue and allowing itself to be dragged into the endless marathon of talks will bear no fruit other than giving this regime the opportunity to engage in further deception.

Amnesty International: Repression escalates amid wave of attacks on journalists in Iran

Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Deputy Middle East and North Africa Program Director at Amnesty International said, “The way journalists are being treated puts everything journalism should stand for at risk in Iran. Anyone deemed critical of the authorities has been at increased risk of arrest and prosecution in recent months, creating an intense climate of fear where voicing any criticism has become a direct road to prison.”
She added, “The authorities’ zero tolerance for anything other than state-sanctioned ideas and voices means that merely reporting the news can put people at risk of incarceration.”
The report demands that the Iranian regime release all journalists held immediately and unconditionally “if they have been detained solely for their peaceful exercise of their rights to freedom of expression, association, and assembly.” “Amnesty International is calling on the authorities to repeal all legislation which curtails freedom of expression, in particular, provisions in the Islamic Penal Code regarding national security which are overly broad and allow the authorities to prosecute and imprison journalists for their peaceful journalistic activities.”

Elham is an example of thousands of others selling merchants or drugs on the streets of
Iran.
