Iran-Elham-Moussavian
Government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said on Wednesday that arrest of former member of Iran's nuclear negotiation team Hossein Moussavian had nothing to do with nuclear issue.
"Moussavian's arrest is not specially linked with the nuclear issue because the intelligence organ is in charge of dealing with the security affairs," said Elham in his weekly press briefing..
To a question that Moussavian's arrest had been a private case or an issue connected with government's skepticism of a specific person or a group of individuals in charge of nuclear issue , Elham said, "No matter a person or a network, the intelligence organ looks into all connections and links. National security is a vital issue and no compromise on it is possible as far as the intelligence is concerned."
He said, "All the proceedings follow their legal and judicial course and related to information obtained through security channels based on the schedule and exigencies. The judicial branches acting under the judiciary supervision too will disseminate necessary information. His (Moussavian's) case is specially private. Issues can be diversified or unique. As for the case (of Moussavian), it has not fallen on the nuclear issue."
