Jalili urges West to end its wrong policies on Iran

Tehran, December 5, IRNA - Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili said on Saturday that the West should put an end to its wrong policies on Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities.

Speaking to domestic and foreign reporters in a press conference, Jalili noted that that fifteen months have passed since the last talks between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the G5+1.

During this period, the negotiating party (G5+1) has adopted a wrong strategy called pressure strategy whose futile and costly nature is now more evident than before.

The legitimacy of Iran’s logic and rights and its undeniable capacities have become clearer than ever, he said.

Their pressure strategy has not only been inefficient, costly, and useless, but it has also led to a big scandal – a scandal serving terrorism, Jalili said.

Inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency have announced the names of Iranian scientists and the UN Security Council has listed them in its resolutions. The scientists have been assassinated in a bid to implement the resolutions – a big scandal for the Security Council and the international body must be held accountable before the international community, he said.

Terror is a sign of the pressure strategy’s failure, he said adding that the assassination of the Iranian university professor Majid Shahriari on the one hand cancels out the pressure strategy and on the other strongly supports the legitimate right of the Iranian people and the values of the Islamic Revolution.

“We, however, welcome talks now that the negotiating party (G5+1) has realized its strategy is doomed to fail but it is not enough for moving on this path,” Jalili said.

They (G5+1) have to put aside their previous wrong strategy and double standards if they seek the continuation of talks, he pointed out.

“As we did not negotiate our people’s rights during the first and second rounds of talks in Geneva, we once again underline that the Iranian nation’s rights must be preserved and are not negotiable,” he said.

Iran is now more prepared than ever in terms of regional, political, and economic capacities and is ready to enter into talks with solidarity, strength and logic, he said.

“We have questions and suggestions which were clearly mentioned in our letter dated July 6,” he said.

Any future decision will be determined by the other side’s behavior, he said.

Considering the economic and political crisis, some of these countries are now facing, we hope they (G5+1) will not choose a path that favors a club powers’ interests and impose further costs on their own peoples and deprive their nations of the benefits of having relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jalili said.

“We have a clear logic for negotiations and our own reasons to vindicate the legitimate rights of our nation, and believe that negotiations would be the best option to this effect and are to resume it,” he said./end
