Iran wins unequal propaganda war over nuclear program: Boroujerdi

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Oct 25, IRNA -- Chairman of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Monday that Iran won the great and unequal propaganda war with Group 5+1 over national nuclear program.

Addressing a national seminar on soft war in Tehran University, he said that once Germany, Britain and France were opposed to 20 research centrifuges for Iranian researchers but today Iran's centrifuges exceeds 7,000 to 8,000.

Referring to Iranian success to complete fuel cycle, he said that if they do not build nuclear plant for Iran, Iran builds itself.

'Thank God, Iran's capability has increased in the past 30 years and currently the enemies are unable to confront the Iranian progress,' Boroujerdi said.

He said that today the enemies admit Iran's influence and capability and that their proposal for talks indicated that they would give responses to Iranian questions.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has already put forward questions to be responded by Group 5+1 including their views about Non-Proliferation Treaty and the international obligation of the states possessing nuclear arms to dismantle them.

The Group 5+1 must also clarify its views about Israeli stockpiles of nuclear weapons and the requirement for Israel to dismantle them.

President Ahmadinejad said that the group must give explicit responses to the questions as prerequisite for resumption of nuclear talks and that they must undertake that they will not use the talks as a pretext for another pre-meditated resolution with the United Nations.

Confronting soft war is the duty of all, but the elites have heavier responsibilities in this respect, he said.

Boroujerdi, who is a Tehran MP, contended that the soft war is more destructive than hard war.

Describing media as one of the weapons of the enemy in soft war, he said that by the media the war is within the houses.

Intimidation is also another instrument in the hand of the enemy in the soft war, he said, noting that all the enemy's efforts such presenting a wrong image of Iran have failed.
