Iran determined to safeguard nuclear achievements

TEHRAN, Jan. 13 (MNA) – Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said that Iranian nation will safeguard its nuclear achievements with a stronger determination.


He made the remarks during the on-the-record meeting of the Majlis on Wednesday.


Pointing to the recent terrorist act in Tehran on Tuesday in which an Iranian nuclear physicist was killed, he said the enemies will not benefit from assassination of Iranian scientists.


“Within several hours, an unknown monarchist group, which has been under complete control of the U.S. intelligence services, issues a statement and claims responsibility for this terrorist act. Apparently the Zionist regime and the CIA have imagined that they can hide the real cause of this incident by this sloppy statement,” he stated.


A “hasty” move by the U.S. and the Zionist regime to attribute the terrorist act to such a group in order to cover up their involvement in the action came as a “new scandal for Mr. Obama,” Larijani opined.


He went on to say even if the U.S. claims that the Iran Monarchist Association was behind the terror act then Washington comes under question that why it has hosted such a terrorist group.


He added clear information had been received before the incident that the Zionist intelligence service Mossad in cooperation with the CIA were planning to carry out a terrorist act in Tehran.


“Perhaps they had thought that they could take advantage of the opportunity created by internal disputes to conduct such acts in order to worry the university professors with the aim of damaging the country’s nuclear researches,” he noted.


But their actions are to no avail, he added.


Assassination shows the weakness of the U.S.


On Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Saeed Jalili also commented on the terrorist incident, saying the assassination was a sign of U.S. weakness and failure in confronting the Iranian nation.


“Islamic Republic of Iran is seriously determined to make progress, and this approach of the United States cannot affect this path. Iranian nation has firmly and vitally prepared itself for progress in various areas,” he said in a meeting with the visiting Omani Foreign Minister Youssef bin Alawi bin Abdullah.


Behaviors such as resorting to military actions and imposing sanctions have seriously undermined all claims of change made by the U.S. administration, he stated.
