Hosseini denounces Bush remarks on Iran

12 June 2008

Tehran-Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said on Thursday that the one-sided and stubborn approach of the US president on Iran's legitimate rights would not make any change in Iran's peaceful nuclear activities.

According to the Information and Press Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hosseini said President George W. Bush cannot make good on its past mistakes by raising false allegations while he approaches the end of his presidency.

Recent unaccountable remarks made by President Bush is continuation of artificial provocative policies adopted by the new conservatives in the US administration who try to make baseless allegations about peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities in a bid to undermine the Iranian nation's will.

The failed policies of the US president would only serve to consolidate the Iranian people's unity and resolve to defend their legitimate rights, he said, urging American officials to observe international regulations and avoid isolation in the world.

Referring to Iran's package of proposals on nuclear issue, he said Iranian officials have proven their good-will and the best way to reach a mutual agreement is to recognize the legitimate rights of the Iranian nation.
