Iran’s right to benefit from peaceful nuclear energy which he said is
the legitimate right of every nation.

"We all believe that Iran’s nuclear energy is of peaceful nature and
it has not deviated from its proper course," he said.

The Iranian ambassador, for his part, highlighted Iran’s peaceful
nuclear activities and referred to the recent report by IAEA Chief
Mohammed ElBaradei in which all ambiguities on Iran’s nuclear
activities were cleared up.

Based on Modality Plan signed between Iran and IAEA, Iran responded

Iran gave very clear and transparent response to all questions and
ElBaradei’s report put a seal of approval on the peaceful nature of
Iran’s nuclear activities and underlined that the country did not
deviate from its right path.

ElBaradei’s report is now regarded as a great achievement and a
significant victory for Iran which was attained through the Iranian
nation’s resistance.

Iranian people and government fully back the move, he underlined.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
