Iran, by no means and no cost, would give up its rights to nuclear technology
Tehran, Dec. 11, 09 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Iranian senior clerics tell Western powers to stop their antagonism against Iranian nuclear program. Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Chairman of Iran’s Expediency Council, urged Western countries to understand the Iranian position over its nuclear program in an interview with Al-Menar TV channel.
‘The West is making a wrong move by adopting a policy of intimidation towards Iran, since we will never give up our right to use peaceful nuclear energy.’ Rafsanjani said and voiced the country’s readiness to hold talks with Western countries to resolve the nuclear issue.
He stated, ‘The right to use peaceful nuclear energy is a strategic issue for Iran because Iran needs the energy and we will not give up this right.’ And added ‘We know that oil reserves will run out in the future so new energy resources should be developed.’
Today, on Friday Prayer sermon at Tehran University campus, substitute prayer speaker Hojjatolislam Kazem Sediqi said ‘ Iran, by no means and no cost, would give up its rights to nuclear technology.’ And added that western countries cannot deprive Iran from its peaceful nuclear program by creating media hooplas.
Hojjatolislam Sediqi confirmed Tehran’s rights as signatory to NPT safeguard and said the country would continue on its nuclear path within the international frameworks.
