Russian MP: US-Israeli anti-Iranian moves, premeditated assassination of Iranian nation
Iran-Russia, Politics, 2/3/2006

Russian Duma representative Alexi Mitrafanov Friday called the harmonized plot hatched by some EU members, United States, and Israel against Iran's nuclear program "premeditated assassination" of the Iranian nation."

Mitrafanov made the comment in an exclusive interview with IRNA, adding, "The reason behind US-Israeli antagonist policies pursued against Iran is your country's independent and nationalist policies, that can be a model for other countries in the region."

On Iran's nuclear dossier, he said, "The united States, backed by the EU, the IAEA, and the UN Security Council lever, intends to impose sanctions against Iran, but such sanctions would initially inflict losses against the Americans and the Europeans."

The Duma representative added, "In that case the oil prices would rise up to $100 per barrel and the West would suffer other losses, as well."

He said, "Having the full cycle of producing nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes, too, is Iran's natural right, and it is neither logical, nor possible to deprive your country of that legal right resorting to unreasonable pretexts."

Mitrafanov emphasized, "Iran must be permitted to have the full nuclear fuel cycle in accordance with the international regulations and under the supervision of the IAEA."

Iran said today that there is "no difference between forwarding Iran's nuclear dossier to the UNSC, reporting the case to the Security Council, or just informing that international body of the case," indicating that these actions are interpreted as equally in collusion and hostile against Iran.
