Ambassador: IRI supports ME without WMD

Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran Mohammad Mehdi Akhoundzadeh said Thursday that IRI's peaceful nuclear case has ended and the world would not support the obstinacy of the West.

About American and Russian officials' talks about IRI nuclear issue, Akhoundzadeh said that the American officials would receive the cold shoulder on the behalf of Russian and some European countries.

He said that the US Secretary of State should accept the reality and respect the Iranian national will.

Akhoundzadeh said that Iran always supports a Middle East without nuclear and mass-destruction weapons and tries to establish justice, peace and security in the region and the world.

Akhoundzadeh also referred to the friendly ties between Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia and said," Iran was committed to its obligations for establishing peace and stability in the region."

"The presence of Iranian as well as Russian officials in the next session of Shanghai Organization safeguards the national interests of the two countries," he reiterated.
