Iran N-work on track despite West plots: spokesman

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says despite Western conspiracies to obstruct Tehran’s path to progress the country will continue its peaceful nuclear activities.

“Our peaceful nuclear activities are favorably running their natural course, despite Western plots and opposition,” Ramin Mehmanparast said in a statement on Friday.

Mehmanparast criticized the West’s double standard approach towards the developments in the Middle East and North of Africa, saying that such developments upset the balance of US and Israeli equations.

The spokesman also questioned why the West military intervened in one country and remained silent on the repression of popular protest in other countries such as Yemen and Bahrain.

The statement also announced the resumption of activities by Iran’s ambassador to Libya on Tuesday, following a phone conversation between Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi and the Head of Libya’s National Transitional Council Mustafa Abdul Jalil.
