Il Tempo: "Se Usa attaccano, uranio arricchito al 90%". La minaccia di Teheran

Teheran sta valutando la possibilità di arricchire l'uranio fino al 90% qualora gli Stati Uniti riprendessero gli attacchi contro l'Iran. Lo ha affermato Ebrahim Rezaei, portavoce della commissione per la politica estera e la sicurezza nazionale del Parlamento iraniano. La proposta sarà esaminata venerdì dal Parlamento di Teheran, ha aggiunto Rezaei.

Intanto l'Iran ha giustiziato un uomo condannato per ribellione armata, ha annunciato la magistratura, nell'ultima di una serie di impiccagioni avvenute dall'inizio della guerra con Israele e gli Stati Uniti. "La condanna a morte per Abdoljalil Shahbakhsh, figlio di Jalal, membro addestrato del gruppo terroristico Ansar al-Furqan, è stata eseguita", si legge sul sito web della magistratura Mizan Online. Era stato accusato di ribellione "per attacchi armati contro le stazioni di polizia e per appartenenza al gruppo ribelle Ansar al-Furqan", hanno aggiunto le autorità. Ansar al-Furqan è un gruppo militante sunnita attivo nella provincia sud-orientale iraniana del Sistan-Baluchestan. Secondo la magistratura, Shahbakhsh ha compiuto i suoi attacchi durante le proteste che hanno scosso l'Iran nel 2022 e nel 2023, in seguito alla morte in custodia di Mahsa Amini, una giovane donna curda iraniana. La sua condanna è stata confermata dalla Corte Suprema, hanno aggiunto le autorità. Secondo le organizzazioni per i diritti umani, l'Iran è il secondo Paese al mondo per numero di esecuzioni capitali, dopo la Cina. L'organizzazione Iran Human Rights, con sede in Norvegia, afferma che la Repubblica islamica ha giustiziato almeno 1.500 persone lo scorso anno, uno dei numeri più alti a livello mondiale.

"If they use it, enriched uranium at 90%. The threat from Tehran."

Tehran is considering the possibility of enriching uranium to 90% if the United States resume attacks against Iran. This was stated by Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the Committee on Foreign Policy and National Security of the Iranian Parliament. The proposal will be examined on Friday by the Tehran Parliament, Rezaei added.

Meanwhile, Iran has executed a man convicted of armed rebellion, announced the judiciary, in the latest of a series of executions since the start of the war with Israel and the United States. "The death sentence for Abdoljalil Shahbakhsh, son of Jalal, a trained member of the terrorist group Ansar al-Furqan, was carried out," reads the website of the Mizan Online judicial website. He had been accused of rebellion “for armed attacks against police stations and for membership in the rebel group Ansar al-Furqan,” the authorities added. Ansar al-Furqan is a militant Sunni group active in Iran’s southeast province of Sistan-Baluchestan. According to the judiciary, Shahbakhsh carried out his attacks during the protests that shook Iran in 2022 and 2023 following the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish Iranian woman. His sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court, the authorities added. According to human rights organizations, Iran is the second country in the world for the number of death sentences, after China. The Iran Human Rights organization, based in Norway, says that the Islamic Republic has executed at least 1,500 people last year, one of the highest figures globally.

Susan, 18, voluntarily teaches the Kurdish language in one of Kurdistan’s villages. Since teaching the Kurdish language is prohibited in Iranian Kurdistan schools, many volunteers spontaneously teach people to read and write Kurdish. Most people in villages are jobless and doing Kolbari to earn a bit of money. Kurdistan, Iran, December 2012.
