An info-graphic published on Khameneis official website outlined 11 points to be observed by negotiators before Iran will sign an accord One of the stipulations includes the absolute need for Irans uranium enrichment capacity to be 190,000 SWU (Separate Work Units) -- close to 20 times its current processing ability. Iranian officials say this is needed to produce fuel for its Bushehr reactor, which is being provided by Russia until 2021. The United States and other Western states, however, want Iran to decrease its enrichment capability. Fordo, which cannot be destroyed by the enemy, must be preserved, the text on Khameneis website said, referring to the uranium enrichment site built under a mountain 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of Tehran. The work of nuclear scientists should in no way be stopped or slowed, the text said, adding Iran had the right to pursue nuclear research and development. Iran and the so-called P5+1 group signed a preliminary accord in November 2013 that froze some Iranian nuclear activities in exchange for a partial lifting of international sanctions.
