Velayati: Iran never drops peaceful use of nuclear energy

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Oct 23, IRNA -- Ali Akbar Velayati senior advisor to Supreme 
Leader on international affairs said here Saturday the Islamic 
Republic of Iran will never drop peaceful use of nuclear energy in 
the field of industry, agriculture and science. 
Addressing a meeting of `Islamic Civilization Party` (ICP), 
Velayati emphasized that peaceful use of nuclear energy is a source of
national pride for the people of Iran and no power can deprive this 
people of their legitimate rights. 
Velayati said the world arrogance is making hue and cry against 
Iran`s peaceful use of nuclear energy while some of Iran`s neighbours 
enjoy nuclear technology and the Zionist regime clearly declares that 
it has advanced nuclear warheads. 
The senior advisor to the Supreme Leader on international affairs 
added Iran has signed all international protocols and agreements 
concerning the peaceful use of nuclear energy and is bound to its 
obligations, but the US and other Western countries do not want Iran 
to become a modern and developed country.
