Iran-Nuclear-Asefi
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said on Wednesday that Iran's "big" success in mastering nuclear fuel cycle has made the world of Islam happy.
"The big success has placed Iran among a few countries possessing such a technology in the world," said Asefi, stressing that the "big" success is the outcome of Iranian scientists' endeavors.
He said the success is a source of honor not only for the Iranian nation but also for the world of Islam.
The US has launched wide-scale efforts to convince the world that Iran defies the international community, while the fact is that the success has made Muslim states highly happy.
He added that the US opposition is due to Iran's independence, which is the key to Islamic dignity and strength.
Asefi, who is in Istanbul to attend the conference of the OIC parliament speakers, said Muslim envoys, present in the meeting, had in their talks with Iranian officials announced that they considered he achievement as a success and congratulated Iran on the issue.
The Islamic Republic of Iran still believes in cooperation with the international community, said Asefi, adding that the US and few of its allies should not be taken synonymous to the international community.
"We are still determined to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency and what we've done thus far been under supervision of the Agency," concluded Asefi.
