Iran-Prayers-Jannati
All the Iranian nation are adamantly supporting peaceful use of nuclear energy, said substitute Friday prayers leader of Tehran Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati here on Friday.
"The 70 million population of Iran are firmly supporting peaceful use of nuclear energy," said Ayatollah Jannati in his second sermon delivered to large groups of worshipers in this week's Friday prayers congregation at Tehran University.
Ayatollah Jannati said the nation are serious and nothing could deviate them from the path.
"With regards to nuclear energy, two points are inevitable:
the first (point) is that all the nation, our government and institutions are determined to gain access to peaceful nuclear energy; our nation will meet its nuclear right; no matter what a decision they make and what they do, people will not give up their demand....
the other point is that the Iranian nation is not after the weapon- grade nuclear energy because it does not go with our morals, culture and religion," announced the major cleric.
He ruled out effectiveness of any possible sanctions against Iran and stated, "Iran has been in sanctions for a long time; and we have been living in sanctions for years; have you gained anything?" He cautioned westerners against any sanctions and said so doing, they would put themselves in trouble.
"With such moves you will put yourselves and others in trouble; you will put us in trouble and you yourself too."
Calling Europe's anti-Iran draft resolution as "highly atrocious", Ayatollah Jannati said the Iranian youth should ponder on depth of the wickedness and vileness.
