FM spokesman: Iran will react “very strongly” to any attack
Tehran, April 13, IRNA – Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said the reaction of Iran and regional countries to any attacks would be very harsh.
Talking to reporters during his weekly press briefing session on Tuesday, he said the military threats posed against Iran by the US and the Zionist regime every now and then were just hollow remarks which served only propaganda purposes.
He said the very nature of the illegitimate Zionist regime relied on militarism and occupation and its survival was bound to creating wars and committing bloodsheds.
Stressing that Iran was fully ready to confront any attacks by its enemies, he said the US, the Zionist regime and their allies were, too, fully aware of Iran’s potential so would never embark on making stupid decisions.
In answer to another question on the ongoing nuclear security conference in Washington, he first referred to the recent remarks of US President Barack Obama who threatened some world countries with use of nuclear bombs as well as the Monday night remarks of French President Nicolas Sarkozi who said his country would not abandon its nuclear weapons.
Mehman-Parast said such countries could never be regarded as truly pioneering a conference on nuclear security issues.
He further stressed the importance of the upcoming international meeting on disarmament to be held in Tehran next week.
Saying that about 200 guests from 60 world countries will participate in the event, the spokesman said 15 countries will dispatch delegations to the conference at the foreign ministerial level.
Commenting on Iran’s nuclear issue, he said Tehran’s nuclear performance has been very transparent, noting that Iranian officials have repeatedly stressed the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program which is developed solely for humanitarian purposes.
On ways to provide needed fuel for the Tehran nuclear reactor, the Foreign Ministry spokesman said Iran has always been ready for talks on providing the needed fuel for its research reactor through purchase or swap deals.
Meanwhile, he said, Tehran has already taken practical steps to provide the fuel by producing it domestically./end
