Tehran, Iran Jan. 03 – Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad told the county’s Majlis, or Parliament, on Tuesday
that Tehran had formally informed the International Atomic
Energy Agency, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, that it has
started work at is massive nuclear enrichment site in Natanz, a
state-run news agency reported.
Ahmadinejad told Majlis deputies, “Iran announced in a letter to
the secretary general of the [International Atomic Energy]
Agency that it had formally commenced nuclear research”, Fars
News Agency reported.
The IAEA said in a statement on Tuesday that it had received an
official memorandum from the permanent mission of the Islamic
Republic of Iran in which Iran made clear that it "has decided
to resume from 9 January 2006 those R & D (research and
development) on the peaceful nuclear energy programme which has
been suspended as part of its expanded voluntary and non-legally
binding suspension”.
The UN nuclear watchdog said it was important that Iran
“maintains its suspension of all enrichment-related activities
as a key confidence- building measure”.
Ahmadinejad said the West was creating obstacles to prevent Iran
from attaining “peaceful nuclear technology”.
“They are angry with Iran and they have a right to be, because
the Iranian people have disturbed their domination of the
world”, he said. “Our response to them is: be so angry with us
that you die of anger”.
Ahmadinejad said Iran will consider the Russian proposal, but
added that “we will not lose our main line, which is the wish of
the Iranian nation to carry out the peaceful nuclear technology
on our own soil in Iran”.
