In recent interviews with CNN news agency, both Hassan Rouhani and Javad Zarif have emphasized on some important issues, which should neither be ignored nor underestimated. These issues are briefly as follows.
Hassan Rouhani: "Iran would never destroy any of its existing centrifuges under any circumstance".
Javad Zarif: "The White House version both underplays the concessions and overplays Iranian commitments".
Moreover, Zarif repeats Rouhani's statement and claims: "Iran will not be dismantling its centrifuges".
Hassan Rouhani: The important part is Rouhani's arguments about the Arak Heavy Water Nuclear Plant. Regarding this nuclear plant, Rouhani claims that: Iran needs the Heavy Water Reactor for medical purposes. Moreover, Rouhani describes the importance of the Arak Plant and states:
"We are standing on our own two feet. Iranian scientists have designed this. We have constructed it. It's nearly finished. So when it comes to medical concerns, we cannot accept limitations".
Based on brief information noted above, what will be the outcomes of Geneva interim deal with Iran?
