Tehran, Iran, Mar. 09 Irans Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared on Thursday that the Islamic Republic would push ahead with its nuclear program like steel despite having been referred to the United Nations Security Council, state media reported.
Khamenei was addressing members of the Assembly of Experts, an exclusively clerical body that designates the countrys all-powerful Supreme Leader.
Presently, the people and the officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran will strive with more strength than ever before like steel in the face of pressures and plots and, while putting their faith in God, using their brains and wisdom, and keeping unity, they will continue to move in the direction of advanced technologies including nuclear energy.
America knows very well that because of the strategic depth of the spiritual leadership of Imam [Ruhollah”> Khomeini and the appeal of the Islamic Republic in the Islamic world, today when there are elections in any Islamic country, just like in Iraq and Egypt, the vote of the people will be in favour of Islamic groups. It is this reality that has made the existence of the Islamic regime unbearable for them.
He said that Washington had waged a psychological war against Tehran, adding that the Islamic Republic could not retreat it its nuclear drive or else it would fall in a cycle where further new demands would be made by the United States.
