Iranians to resist till materializing nuclear right - Jannati

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Nov 23, IRNA
Tehran-Friday Prayers-Jannati
Provisional Friday Prayer Leader of Tehran Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati reiterated in his second sermon here Friday Supreme Leader, nation, and entire officials are agreed on need for resistance till materializing our nuclear rights for peaceful purposes.

Addressing thousands of Tehrani worshipers at central campus of Tehran University, Ayatollah Jannati referred to the contents of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Chief, Muhamed Elbaradei, adding, "This report is proof for everyone for the transparency of Iran's legitimate, peaceful nuclear program."

The interim Friday Prayer preacher of Tehran further stressed, "The most clear point in Mr. ElBaradei's report, that was officially declared, is that the IAEA inspectors have in their numerous surveys come up with the conclusion that the Islamic Republic of Iran has ever been pursuing military objectives, including production of weapons of mass destruction, in its nuclear program."

Ayatollah Jannati considered ElBaradei's report as a victory for the Iranian nation, congratulating them on the occasion, adding, "This victory was not achieved easily, since we have paved many perilous paths relying on the wise leadership of our Supreme leader and the resistance of our officials and people."

He said, "If in the middle of that tough way we would have, God forbid, shown a green light to the enemy we would have never achieved this victory today, while we would have also been deprived of our natural right for ever, or for a long while."

Jannati said, "ElBaradei's report, that is an international proof on the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities, needs to be elaborated as much as possible for the different world nations and governments."

Referring to two series of UN Security Council sanctions against our nation due to Iran's peaceful nuclear activities, Ayatollah Jannati addressed the UNSC, demanding, "Today that the righteousness of the Islamic Republic of Iran's claims is made evident for everyone, what is the basis for the silly, antagonistic sanctions you have imposed against our nation?"

He added, "Resorting to that illegal move you ruined the reputation of the Security Council, but now that it is made clear that Iran is not after acquiring weapons of mass destruction how are you going to justify your move before the world public opinion?" Focusing on Basij Mobilization Force Week, Ayatollah Jannati addressed the Basiji forces, arguing, "So long as Islam, the revolution, and the Islamic Republic of Iran exist, their enemies, threats, and plots against us, too, would exist, and therefore, the Basiji forces need to upgrade their combat and scientific
capabilities in various fields."

He further emphasized, "We need to back up that sanctified foundation more than ever before, in order to maintain readiness to confront the probable invasions of the enemies."

Referring to the upcoming major Hajj pilgrimage time, he said, "As the Supreme Leader has stressed, Hajj should be facilitated as a means for strengthening unity among the Islamic Ummah, and therefore, any move that can lead to discord and disunity within the Islamic World should be seriously discouraged there."

Touching on US efforts aimed at sponsoring a so called Fall Peace Conference, he said, "They have also sponsored such conferences in the past, each time facing the defeat of their initiatives." Stressing that this Fall Peace Conference, too, is doomed to defeat, the provisional Friday prayers leader of Tehran added, "So long as the entire Palestinian refugees have not returned to their motherland and their entire legitimate rights have not been internationally recognized, such plans would face defeat one after the other."

He emphasized, "As long as the oppressed Palestinian nation keeps on resisting and Hamas continues its braveries, the US efforts aimed at establishment of peace and stability inside the occupied territories would bear no fruit at all."
