A senior aide to the Iranian president said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming remarks at the US Congress will not find any supporter in the outside world and will be highly beneficial to Iran. “Netanyahu’s comments at the US Congress will further widen the existing gaps (between Israel and its supporters) in different arenas and finally will benefit Iran,” Iranian President’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Political Affairs Hamid Aboutalebi wrote on his tweeter account on Sunday.

He said Netanyahu’s speech at the US Congress will go unnoticed even in the US, the same way that his UN General Assembly address and his cartoons about Iran’s nuclear program were joked, “and this will be much beneficial to regional peace and stability”.

He said the world public opinion is willing to hear the message of peace and security. “And this message comes from Iran’s peace-seeking (nuclear) negotiations and resistance, and not from Netanyahu’s words at the Congress.”

“No one will listen to the message of war and insecurity anymore,” Aboutalebi reiterated.

Media analysts believe that when Netanyahu addresses Congress on Tuesday he will call for a halt to President Barack Obama’s emerging nuclear deal with Iran, a step viewed as crude electioneering.

Since accepting Republican House Speaker John Boehner’s invitation in January, Netanyahu has clashed repeatedly with Obama who said he would not be welcomed at the White House during the trip. The 65-year-old prime minister refused appeals from Democrats to cancel the speech.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said last month that the country’s logical approach in talks with the world powers and its transparent cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog had caused the world states to admit that Tehran’s nuclear technology was for peaceful purposes.

Addressing the opening ceremony of the meeting of Science Ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) member states, President Rouhani stressed that in the today world nobody could ever claim that Iran’s nuclear program was non-peaceful.

He said Iranians were determined to safeguard their inalienable right to gain access to nuclear technology for civilian purposes despite pressures.

The president highlighted the rights of people to access modern knowledge and technology as an inalienable one.

Also in February, Iran’s envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Reza Najafi said the latest report by the IAEA on Iran indicated that the country’s nuclear activities were transparent and the alleged concerns of certain western states were baseless.

“The detailed report inclusive of the places, the number of centrifuges and their types, the amount of enriched and not enriched materials, the number of manufactured fuel plates and reports on numerous inspections all in all indicate full transparency of Iran’s nuclear program,” Najafi said.
