IRI has legal right to 20pc enrichment

IRI has a legal right to enrich uranium up to 20 percent, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reaffirmed, adding that by the enrichment, the IRI never seeks to produce nuclear weapons. The president told France 24 television that he did not expect talks next month with the group 5+1 in Moscow to yield any major breakthroughs. "There will be areas of work that will go in the right direction and we will work towards them so that we would reach a constructive accord," he said. He said that Tehran had good proposals to make, but that it would only announce them when the time was ri, and that both sides had to work hand in hand to restore confidence, according to IRNA. Mr. Ahmadinejad also condemned the killings of 108 people, many of them children, in the Syrian town of Houla last week, saying those who had committed the crime should be punished. "All those who carried out these murders are guilty and I hope the people responsible would be punished," he said. Mr. Ahmadinejad also said that the West and certain Arab countries were interfering in Syria and were sending weapons to help bring down the government. In response to a question of France 24 on the “threats made by Israel”, he said, “How would the west have reacted if we had threatened the Zionist regime using the words they have used? Are the laws subject to interpretations?” France 24 asked what Iran’s reaction would be if Israel would attack. “The Iranians have always made their enemies feel sorry.”
