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.
