Summary of Iran Stories in Today's BroadcastsBehnam NateghiTuesday, November 04, 2003 Iran in Breach of NPT, Says IAEA Chief • The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will report that that Iran has failed to honor some of the international nuclear safeguards, IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei said on Tuesday in an interview with the Madrid daily El Pais. New breaches will be detailed in a report that the IAEA is to present to its board of directors on November 20. ElBaradei's remarks were the first admission that information filed by Iran last week showed failures in honoring nuclear safeguards agreements. (Ahmad Ra'fat) • The recent threat by the Supreme Leader that Iran may suspend cooperation with the IAEA is a cause for concern, US State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher said on Monday, urging Iran to fully cooperate. (Keyvan Hosseini) • Nuclear cooperation with Iran is in the national interests of both nations, Russia's ministry of atomic energy declared in a statement issued a day before the parliamentary elections. (Mani Kasravi, Moscow) Conservatives Stage Anti-US Rally on Hostage Crisis Anniversary • On the anniversary of the attack by a group that called itself “student following the Imam's line” on the US Embassy in Tehran, which ensued the 444-day Iran hostage crisis, the conservatives brought out thousands of school children and members of the voluntary militia Basij to the street in front of the former US embassy in Tehran for a demonstration. They shouted “death to US and Israel.” Tehran-based independent reporter Arash Qavidel tells Radio Farda that none of the reformist student groups participated in the demonstration. No slogan could be heard against Iran's agreement to sign the additional protocol of the NPT, since the demonstration followed the Supreme Leader's expression of support for the agreement. (Ardavan Niknam) Former Crown Prince Calls for US-Europe Cooperation on Iran • “Why doesn't the international community declare its unambiguous opposition to a terrorist regime in such a strategic region, Prince Reza Pahlavi, former crown prince, wrote in an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal. “Why doesn't it unite with Iran's people, whose loudly demonstrated wish is to be rid of the only regime in the world whose theocratic constitution specifically rejects popular sovereignty,” he added. “I don't believe in foreign intervention in the form of a military attack, Prince Reza Pahlavi tells Radio Farda. However, our people need the support of the international community in their struggle for freedom and democracy, he adds. (Shahran Tabari, London) Army Commanders Slam Majles Bill on Military Service • The Majles has not consulted the armed forces about its bill to reform the national military service law, Ahmad Kargar, head of the army's national service program, said. The Majles bill would make military service voluntary for men with at least two years of college education. The Majles bill is discriminatory, general-director of the national military service program Mosa Kamali said. At a time when the country needs to expand its armed forces, the bill would reduce the number men under arms, he added. (Arash Qavidel) Littoral States Discuss Caspian Sea Environment Accord • In meeting in Tehran on Monday, representatives of the five Caspian Sea littoral states began discussions that would lead to the signing the first agreement on protecting the Sea's environment. (Behruz Nikzat) • Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the five countries bordering the Caspian Sea accelerated dependence on the Sea for their income, and accelerated damage to the Sea's delicate environmental balance, Tehran-based ecologist Esmail Kahrom tells Radio Farda. (Fereydoun Zarnegar) Imports Exceed Non-Oil Exports by 500 Percent • In the first six months of the current fiscal year, which began on March 22, 2003, Iran has imported goods worth $15 billion, while the country's intake from non-oil exports did not exceed $3 billion, resulting in a $12 billion trade deficit -- another reminder of the economy's continuous dependence on oil. (Fereydoun Khavand, Paris) UN Special Reporter on Freedom of Speech to Visit Tehran • UN Human Rights Commission's Special Rapporteur on the promotion and the protection of freedom of opinion and expression Ambeyi Ligabo will begin his one-week visit to Iran on Tuesday, the UN office in Tehran announced. (Keyvan Hosseini) Factions Clash over the Majles Report about Kazemi's Death • The reformist and conservative factions of the Islamic Republic continued to clash over the Majles complaints' committee's report on the judiciary's handling of the investigation into the death in custody of Canadian-Iranian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi. Most probably, the Tehran judiciary will prosecute for libel MP Ansari-Rad, who read the committee's report at the Majles, Radio Farda's Keyvan Hosseini who follows Iran's internal politics, says. (Siavash Ardalan) • In a letter to the Majles, Tehran prosecutor Said Mortazavi denounced the Majles report, and accused its authors of fabrication and sowing discord among political factions.

(Farin Asemi) . اردوان نيکنام (راديوفردا): محمد البرادعي، رئيس سازمان بين المللي انرژي اتمي، امروز به شکلي غير منتظره در مصاحبه اي که تنها در روزنامه اسپانيايي ال پائيس به چاپ رسيد، گفت که جمهوري اسلامي ايران، معاهده منع گسترش سلاح هاي هسته اي را زير پا گذاشته است. چنين موضعي از سوي آقاي البرادعي، تا کنون در هيچ رسانه ديگر غربي بازتاب نيافته است. احمد رافت (راديوفردا): محمد البرادعي، در ابتداي اين مصاحبه، به خبرنگار ال پائيس مي گويد که از مدارکي که مقامات تهران در پيامد ديدار با وزراي خارجه فرانسه، آلمان و بريتانيا، به سازمان بين المللي انرژي اتمي تحويل دادند، به وضوح مشخص است که جمهوري اسلامي تا کنون به تعهدات خود در قبال اين نهاد عمل نکرده است و معاهده منع گسترش اسلحه هاي اتمي را زير پا گذارده است. محمد البرادعي در ادامه گفتگو با خبرنگار ال پائيس، خانم ايزابل پيکر، مي افزايد: البته ما اميدواريم که تهران تغيير روش داده و در آينده با کارشناسان و بازرسان اين نهاد، همکاري داشته باشد. محمد البرادعي مي افزايد: آنچه ما در گذشته در رابطه با برنامه هاي هسته اي جمهوري اسلامي ايران گفته بوديم، صحت داشته و اين کشور در برنامه هايش از خط و مرزي که سازمان بين المللي انرژي اتمي بين فعاليت هاي نظامي و غير نظامي کشيده بود، گذر کرده است. محمد البرادعي در همين زمينه مي افزايد: البته ما هنوز بررسي کامل اين مدارک را به اتمام نرسانده ايم و اميدواريم بتوانيم نتايج اش را به شوراي حکمرانان آژانس بين المللي انرژي اتمي که 20 نوامبر آينده تشکيل جلسه خواهد داد، ارجاع کنيم. خبرنگار ال پائيس مي پرسد: آيا جمهوري اسلامي ايران به خاطر زير پا گذاردن معاهده عدم گسترش اسلحه هاي هسته اي از سوي شوراي امنيت سازمان ملل متحد مورد بازخواست و تنبيه قرار خواهد گرفت؟ محمد البرادعي در پاسخ مي گويد: هر گونه تصميم گيري در اين رابطه، به عهده شوراي حکمرانان است و تا آنجايي که من اطلاع دارم، در اين رابطه هنوز اختلاف نظر وجود دارد. محمد البرادعي در زمينه تصميم مقامات تهران در پيوستن به پروتکل الحاقي مي افزايد: در اين رابطه تا زماني که تهران امضاي خود را زير اين پروتکل قرار نداده باشد، و به بازرسان ما اجازه بازرسي از همه اماکن و نيروگاه هاي اتمي اش را ندهد، هر گونه اظهار نظري عجولانه و غير منطقي است. البرادعي در ادامه مي گويد که ما بايد گذشته فعاليت هاي هسته اي ايران، برنامه هاي کنوني اش و امکانات ادامه اين برنامه ها در آينده را مورد بررسي دقيق قرار دهيم و تنها پس از آن، در رابطه با مواضع اخير دولتمردان ايراني، قضاوت کنيم. قضاوت در مورد برنامه هاي هسته اي جمهوري اسلامي ايران، تنها بر مبناي اظهار نظر دولتمردان اين کشور، به گفته رئيس سازمان بين المللي انرژي اتمي، درست آن چيزي است که در تهران انتظار آن را دارند، در حالي که جامعه بين المللي بايد بر مبناي عملکردهاي اين کشور موضع خود را اتخاذ نمايد. محمد البرادعي، رئيس سازمان بين المللي انرژي اتمي، امروز به شکلي غير منتظره در مصاحبه اي که تنها در روزنامه اسپانيايي ال پائيس به چاپ رسيد، گفت که جمهوري اسلامي ، معاهده منع گسترش سلاح هاي هسته اي را زير پا گذاشته است. وي گفت که از مدارکي که مقامات تهران در پيامد ديدار با وزراي خارجه فرانسه، آلمان و بريتانيا، به سازمان بين المللي انرژي اتمي تحويل دادند، به وضوح مشخص است که جمهوري اسلامي تا کنون به تعهدات خود در قبال اين نهاد عمل نکرده است و معاهده منع گسترش اسلحه هاي اتمي را زير پا گذارده است.
