Secretary general of Irans Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani told reporters at Tehrans Mehrabad Airport after returning from a visit to Syria that negotiations with the West could not continue if the Islamic Republic was required to suspend the nuclear fuel cycle activities.
If the goal is for negotiations to take place so that Iran gives up its intention of carrying out nuclear fuel cycle activities, then there are not negotiations which the Iranian nation will accept, nor will they be just, Larijani said.
The SNSC secretary general said that the world was witnessing anarchy in the realm of international nuclear rights.
The Iranian nation will not forgo its nuclear fuel cycle rights, Larijani said, adding that Tehran would consider reopening negotiations with Europe so long as such rights were not violated.
If the [International Atomic Energy”> Agency wants negotiations to bear fruit, its aim must be to ensure that Irans right to the fuel cycle is materialised.
