Tehran, Sept 19, IRNA -- Secretary General of Iran Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Hassan Rowhani said that Iran is determined continue with uranium enrichment as manifestation of its national rights. Utilizing the fall out from a peaceful nuclear program is natural rights of the Iranian people and other nations as well, he added.

In a Fax to IRNA, he added that the condition attached by Europeans is the total suspension of uranium enrichment which Iran is adamant to pursue. Iran, despite all of its transparent activities in its peaceful nuclear energy program and due to meddling and pressure exerted by the US, has been under pressure but the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Directors, Rowhani asserted.

Iran will opt for the policy of confidence building and removal of ambiguities asserted by some and through pushing for its legitimate rights will conjure an atmosphere for political dialogue to woo international trust. He further thanked the Non-Aligned Nation (NAM) for their support at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting. NAM is also resolved to be more active in the nuclear watch dog agency and defend other developing nation in their quest for acquiring peaceful nuclear technology, he remarked. "If the US had not exerted political pressure, Iran`s file would have been closed in the previous meeting of the board of governors,"Rowhani underscored.

Rowhani said earlier on Sunday that there is possibility to resolve the dispute with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) through diplomatic means. "Iranian nuclear case may be closed in November or may cause extra trouble for Iran, but, there is a possibility to resolve the row through diplomatic means," he said.

He said that Iran does not need foreign assistance for producing fuel for the power plants and enjoys enough expertise to do so. "But, we voluntarily suspended uranium enrichment for confidence-building and to thwart the propaganda campaign against Iranian nuclear program."

"We want to prove to the international community that our nuclear program is for civilian purpose. We have done a lot to do so, and will go on taking such actions in future too, because we are willing to develop better relationship with the international community. We don`t like confrontation and crisis," Rowhani said.

He referred to the 20-year Prospect for Economic, Social and Cultural Development and said that Iran has decided to turn into a developed state in the next 20 years and needs constructive relationship with the international community." We will go ahead with confidence-building and will endeavor to build up our technical capability to restore our national rights in the context of the international conventions. This is our diplomacy to proceed with on both directions simultaneously," he said.
