Iranian officials: Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear energy

ArabicNews.com:Head of Iran's Guardian Council, Ayatollah Ahmad Janati, on Friday asserted that Iran-EU nuclear talks are going on well.

"The hoped results of the talks have not yet been achieved because the Europeans seem to be wasting the time," Janati said in Friday Prayer Sermon.

"The Iranian nation will never give up its legitimate rights under any pressure." he noted.

Janati underlined that Europeans should work and cooperate with Iran independently and through logical ways adding that Iran accepts to conduct its nuclear program under the supervision of the UN nuclear watchdog.

"If the related talks with Europeans failed to achieve any reasonable outcome, Iran will do what it sees suitable because the suspension of uranium enrichment by Iran is temporary," he added.

Meantime, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Hasan Rohani, during his meeting with the French President Jacques Chirac, emphasized Iran's legal right to make peaceful use of nuclear energy.

Also, Iran's Foreign Ministry's Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said "Wasting time will not prevent Iran to get its right to peaceful use of nuclear energy particularly that Iran will not use nuclear-energy technology to make weapons of mass destruction." Link
