the peaceful use of nuclear energy without a fuel cycle is an empty proposition.
We have firmly decided to use this technology for peaceful purposes within the framework of the NPT, international regulations and cooperation with the IAEA,
We believe that it is the right of all member nations to enjoy nuclear fuel and peaceful nuclear technology. We will not accept a scientific apartheid.
The Iranian people insist on their legitimate right to develop peaceful nuclear technology and will not move from this right one iota.
A country, which possesses the biggest nuclear arsenal, embarks on proliferation of nuclear weapons in defiance of the safeguards (of NPT) and threatens to use them against others, is not competent to comment on peaceful use of nuclear know-how by other states,
for peaceful purposes, and it is our right to have that capacity for energy, for medical purposes and development of our technology.
