Tehran, YJC. Hosseini Bushehri says Iran will take its uranium enrichment to 60 percent if the Western sides show disrespect for the Geneva agreement.
Speaking
at the Friday prayers in Qom, ayatollah Seyyed Hashemi Hosseini Bushehri pointed
to Iran’s nuclear deal and said "The expert talks of the past few days ended
without any special outcome to be relegated to the new Christian year. Investigations
show that the US has committed some violation.”
Stating
that US officials say that Iran must first enact its obligations stated in the Geneva
agreement, he said "Our nation will not give in to threats and illogicality. I must
also warn our statesmen to be smart and not trust the enemy.”
"The
negotiating officials must know that the nation and the leadership support
them. The nuclear negotiating officials must not act in a way to make the enemy
feel they’re weak,” Bushehri added.
Expressing
gratitude to Iran’s legislative body for its 60-percent enrichment plan, he
said "Garbage in, garbage out. The US congress has threatened the Iranian nation
with new sanctions only for the Majlis representatives to prepare a draft that
if the enemy tries to throw a spanner in the works, we will continue the
enrichment to 60 percent.”
The
ayatollah further said "We need 60-percent enrichment for the propelling power
of marine and submarine crafts. If the enemy puts a foot wrong we will stand
before them in full force and we will not cringe. We will give them a hell of a
response.”
