Tehran’s interim Friday Prayers leader says Iran will not give up its 20 percent uranium enrichment, which it achieved due to efforts of the country’s scientists.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami said, “Iran is saying something logical which is possessing peaceful nuclear energy is the right of every nation, particularly the Iranian one and this nation will not give up its right”.
Ayatollah Khatami, who is a member of the presiding board of the Assembly of Experts, said the West constantly tells Iran to build confidence despite the fact that numerous inspections of the country’s nuclear energy facilities have failed to find evidence of diversion.
The senior cleric then addressed the Western powers and said, “The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has also said that we are not seeking to build atomic bombs. What else do you want? It is you who must build confidence.”
He stressed, “I speak on behalf of the Iranian nation that they will not be held to ransom”.
