a. Nuclear Issues
Step One: Guidelines
Commencement of cooperation and reciprocal steps requires an appropriate context and a clear vision of the process. Within such context, attestation of parties to each other side’s demand indicates the required commitment to conclude the process of talks.
The Islamic Republic of Iran emphasizes once again on its commitments under the NPT and its opposition to nuclear weapons based on the Supreme Leader’s Fatwa against such weapons.
5+1 officially recognizes the nuclear rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on Article 4 of the NPT, particularly its enrichment activities, and will openly announce it.
Step Two: Transparency Measures
The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue its broad cooperation with the IAEA within the framework of its legal and Safeguard obligations as before. Since baseless accusations and ambiguities have been raised regarding Iran’s past nuclear activities, Iran is asked to answer such allegations beyond its legal obligations;
The Islamic Republic of Iran will transparently cooperate with the IAEA on the issue of “possible military dimensions” of Iran’s nuclear program (PMD).
5+1 will terminate all unilateral and multilateral sanctions (out of the UNSC framework) in order to make transparency on their intentions.
Step Three: Confidence building steps
The Islamic republic of Iran’s enrichment activities providing enriched fuel needed for TRR [Tehran Research Reactor] are under the supervision of the IAEA’s inspectors and cameras continuously. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been asked for taking some additional confidence building measures in this respect, although it has no more obligations in this regard;
The Islamic Republic of Iran will cooperate with 5+1 to provide enriched fuel needed for TRR.
In order to build confidence on their intentions, 5+1 will terminate the sanctions and will remove Iran’s nuclear file from UNSC agenda.
Step Four: Strengthening cooperation on mutual interests
In order to enhance assurance and confidence and to fulfill parties interests, parties will agree to start and boost their cooperation on the following issues:
The Islamic Republic of Iran’s priorities: Designing and building nuclear power plants, and research reactors.
5+1 priorities: light water research reactors, nuclear safety and security, nuclear fusion
b. Non-nuclear issues
Step Five: Strengthening joint cooperation
For the purpose of broadening the dimensions of trust and confidence and working on the common grounds of interest in non-nuclear areas, parties agree to start their cooperation on the following issues;
The Islamic Republic of Iran’s priorities: Regional issues especially Syria and Bahrain
