NCRI Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Mr. Mohammad Mohaddessin, following the operation of the second series of nuclear “centrifuge cascades” by the mullahs’ regime, strongly condemned any delay in adopting a firm policy against the Iranian regime. Referring to those parties which create obstacles in the path to comprehensive sanctions against the regime for their economic benefits, Mr. Mohaddessin reiterated that if the regime obtained nuclear bomb the least of which they stand to lose would be economic benefits.
At same time, the regime’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mohammad Ali Hosseini brazenly said that operating the second cascade of the nuclear centrifuges are in line with the regime’s peaceful proceedings and “Iran will continue its activities in the field of research and development.”
In an attempt to buy more time for the mullahs’ atomic bomb project, Hosseini expressed dismay in the disruption of Mr. Solana and Ali Larijani’s talks and said, “The EU should not let the progress which had been made in Solana-Larijani negotiations go barren. They should find a way to continue.”
Mr. Mohaddessin said, “Who is not aware that the only progress made in the Solana – Larijani talks were getting the mullahs a leap ahead in obtaining atomic bomb?”
He added, “The mullahs’ regime is faced with domestic crisis. Therefore, it has turned against the will of the international community for a complete halt in its nuclear program. He said the time has come for the United Nations Security Council to ignore the mullahs’ threats and instead impose diplomatic, arms, technologic and oil sanctions against the regime in order to create a major impediment for it to obtain nuclear weapons.”
