Iran-Larijani-Nuclear
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani said Sunday that the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad managed to develop Iran's nuclear program.
Speaking to the students of Sharif Technical University, he said that Iran has achieved to extract uranium, convert it into yellowcake, inject the cake into the Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) and produce UF6.
"Injection of uranium hexafluoride to centrifuges was the next stage, which eventually resulted in a four percent enrichment," he added.
Turning to Britain's hostile position on the country's nuclear issue, he declared that the Iranian people will respond to the move at an appropriate time.
In response to a student's question about relying on Russia, he said, "We mainly rely on the potentials of young Iranian scientists.
However, diplomacy calls for using global expertise. Just as we cooperate with Europe, we should equally collaborate with Russia and China."
Larijani underlined that the US is faced with the crisis of being mistrusted, adding that even their allies do not trust this administration.
"Though the US symbolizes a great country, it keeps on bullying in the region and attempts to get control of regional oil reserves.
"Its performance in Iraq is terrible. They claim democracy, but once Hamas won the majority of votes in the Palestinian general election, it suspended relief aid to them. This is why nobody trusts them," he added.
