Iran-Larijani-Nuclear
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani said Sunday that if West continues to threaten Iran, the country will stop cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Addressing students in Sharif Technical University, he said now it is up to the West to make an option, on which Iran's reaction will depend.
"Therefore, they better use their wits and select a way that will make Iran cooperate with them," added the SNSC secretary.
Turning to the remarks of the US state secretary about the allocation of 70 million dollars to measures against Iran, he said that even if 70 billion dollars were earmarked to the cause, they would get nowhere.
"If you are seeking to disturb Iran, we will do the same, given that we are able to do so but actually do not wish to disturb anyone," noted the UNSC secretary.
In response to a student's question about the possibility of Iran-US talks, he said, "The US has a misunderstanding about holding talks with Iran, given that despite its repeated calls for discussing Iraq with Iran once Iraqi leaders said that this will be to their interest and Iran accepted it, the American administration itself got into problem."
Larijani referred to Iran's nuclear activities as a strategic objective of the Iranian nation and said, "We will do our best to materialize such a goal, but we do not trust the US."
