Ali Larijani, secretary of the clerical regime’s Supreme Security
Council, said yesterday in an interview with the French News Agency
that the clerical regime “will not submit to Western demands to limit
its disputed nuclear fuel drive.” Referring to the Russian proposal,
Larijani said Tehran will not accept the kind of accord the West is now
hoping for: “The negotiations will be about making nuclear fuel inside
Iran. There is nothing else to talk about.”
Pointing to major weapons deals with Russia and China, Larijani warned:
“The Europeans should know that if they send our case to the Security
Council ... we will have problems but they will not win.” He signaled
that the regime was now impatient to resume enrichment work itself.
Larijani emphasized that the regime would push ahead with construction
of centrifuges, saying that was outside the scope of any future talks
with the EU-3 and could therefore restart at any moment. The Iranian
Resistance revealed last month that during its two-year negotiations
with the EU3, the mullahs’ regime was busy secretly constructing 5,000
centrifuges.
Mr. Mohammad Mohaddessin, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the
NCRI, stressed: “Larijani's remarks demonstrate the futility of any
negotiations with the mullahs’ regime over the nuclear file and show
that negotiations only give the regime more time to complete its evil
nuclear weapons projects. Any hesitation or delay in referring the
mullahs’ nuclear file to the UN Security Council draws the region and
the world closer to the precipice of crisis and war.”
