Younesi: Iran will defend its right to nuclear technology
Iran, Politics, 7/16/2005

Iran's Intelligence Minister Ali Younesi today said that "change of the government and state administrators will not have any major effect on Iran's nuclear issue and consensus is expected to be reached on it jointly by the government, the nation and officials in charge as was the case so far," IRNA reported.

"Speaking to reporters, he referred to the nuclear issue as one beyond the scope of the government's responsibility and said that the state officials are determined to restore the legal right of the Iranian nation. Predicting a bright prospect for the country's nuclear program, he noted that the Iranian nation with any type of thinking is determined to defend its indisputable right for access to peaceful nuclear technology," IRNA said.

IRNA quoted the minister saying that multifaceted progress can only be materialized within the framework of the nuclear issue, of which the Europeans are well aware. "Even the US interference is of no avail," he added.

Worth noting that US, India and many other countries are starting to greatly consider increasing the use of nuclear technology. Iran reported that it wants to build 20 nuclear reactors and that Russia said it will help in building some of these reactors.
