Intelligence Minister: Iran not to give in to force
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, June 27, IRNA -- Intelligence Minister Ali Younesi said here Sunday that Iran has so far acted under the supervision of the UN nuclear watchdog and is to continue its cooperation with the IAEA, but it would not bow to force, he stressed. Speaking to IRNA, Younesi said that Iran was determined to get access to the nuclear technology for peaceful application, stressing that the country has never been after developing atomic bombs. Noting that Iran has repeatedly and clearly announced its policy regarding its nuclear programs, Younesi said that having access to nuclear technology for peaceful application was the indisputable right of Iran and that the country would never give up its right. As for Iraq, the minister said that Tehran supported restoration of peace and stability to that country and believed this would be achieved only if "the Iraqi people themselves administer their own country." The US is to bring to power a puppet regime in Iraq and its quite natural that the Iraqi people would resist it, Younesi said. Touching upon the question of the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO), the minister said that they have come to the end of the line. However, Younesi did not give further explanations in this regard. 1394/1412
