Larijani advises West not to irritate Iranians on nuclear issue

Iran’s Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani advised western countries not to irritate the Iranian nation over the nuclear issue.

According to IRNA, addressing a gathering in city of Asadabad, Hamedan Province in western country, he said though western powers are sure that Iran possesses no nuclear weapons, they are using Iran’s nuclear power as an excuse to exercise hostility against the Islamic Republic.
He believed this was because they were scared of Iran’s technological achievements and could not stand its progress and development.
The speaker reiterated that the fact that Iran has already turned into a regional power is due to its success in conquering peaks of scientific progress.
He said West’s problem today is not Iran’s nuclear program but the degree of its might.
Turning to regional issues, he said one major problem the Islamic world is facing now is the lack of unity.
Referring to remarks made by some US frivolous politicians who said sanctions against Iran have been fruitful so should be continued, Larijani stressed that this is a clear case of counterfeit because they say one thing behind the curtains and then support direct talks with Tehran.
