Iran dismayed at Medvedev perception about Iran's nuclear program
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, July 20, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast on Tuesday expressed dismay over Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's perception about Iranian nuclear program.
Mehman-Parast made the remarks in his weekly press briefing with domestic and foreign reporters.
He said that Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki has already given response to misunderstanding of state of affairs about Iranian nuclear program by the Russian president.
He has a misunderstanding about peaceful nuclear program of Iran which should be corrected, Mehman-Parast said adding that close cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency is a strong reason to prove that the country’s nuclear program is of peaceful nature.
“We have clarified our strategy in nuclear program to the international community and maintained that Iranian nuclear activities are totally peaceful,” he said.
He said that the Iranian nation expects their government to make efforts to vindicate their legitimate rights enshrined by Non-Proliferation Treaty and in line with the Safeguards Agreement of the IAEA.
“If there would be any doubts on peaceful nature of a country’s nuclear program, it should be supported with concrete documents,” he underlined.
“Why aren't you concerned about the nuke military program of the Zionist regime that has stockpiled over 200 nuclear warheads, posing threats to the countries in the region?,” Mehman-Parast questioned.
“We advise all countries to consider real threats prior to making any comments on nuclear activities of other countries," the spokesman said.
