Chairman of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi said here Sunday that Iran's current policy is based on dialogue and understanding within the framework of laws.

Speaking at the first conference of the Basij Resistance Center of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, dubbed "Nuclear Energy and Challenges Facing it", he said that Iran will not change its required conditions in facing the EU3 proposal on its nuclear issue." The MP from Boroujerd said that Iran is now experiencing its most difficult stage in accessing nuclear fuel cycle.

"Our nation is not less capable of the US and European people and deserves to access nuclear energy more than the Western citizens.

"Though the West is today in need of Iran's oil, it intends to impose limitations on the countries with rich oil reserves and make them rely on its nuclear energy once their reserves are drained," he added.

He added that if today Iran fails to gain its relevant right, future generations will not be able to protect their independence.

Turning to the remark of the UN nuclear watchdog chief, Mohamed ElBaradei, while visiting Natanz nuclear facilities during the presidential term of Mohammad Khatami, he said, "Nuclear technology is not limited to energy. It is also used in medical and agricultural fields. Therefore, its promotion is interconnected to our political and scientific potentials." In another part of his speech, Boroujerdi referred to the approach of the US and Western countries to the country's nuclear issue as political.

The conference opened this morning and was attended by more than 400 of Basiji commanders, managers, officials in charge and forces.
