NCRI - Supreme leader of the clerical regime, Ali Khamenei, said on
Wednesday that West knows well that "we are not after nuclear weapons
as it is contrary to the political and economic interests of the
country and against teachings of Islam," but he reiterated that the
regime will continue with its nuclear program without any fear. "Even
the world cannot influence the will of Iranian people" to continue with
its scientific progress, said Khamenei in reference to the regime's
nuclear program.
The mullahs' deputy foreign minister, Mehdi Mostafavi, along with other officials have been calling desperately for resumption of talks with the EU on its nuclear program as western leaders are circulating a draft calling on the UN nuclear watchdog to refer mullahs' regime to the Security Council.
The regime's new call for talks was viewed as yet another ploy to buy time to complete its nuclear weapons program.
