Pointing to oil as a national wealth and a unique source of energy which is not renewable the letter said the world is trying to find other sources of energy including nuclear one.
One of the main challenges facing economic development is the provision of energy which has already emerged as a crisis, it said, adding, “fortunately our country is one of the richest countries in terms of energy such as oil and gas, but all the experts believe that oil, as a national wealth, has many vital and unique uses whose value exceeds far above a source of energy.”
Due to these reasons most of the countries have focused their efforts on acquiring substitute sources of energy and Iran is no exception and every Iranian citizen considers lack of effort in this regard as a treason to national wealth and the future generations, the letter read.
Unfortunately, we have been witnessing foreign pressures for halting the country’s development in nuclear technology and we are concerned about the loss of great efforts by Iranian experts which have been working round-the-clock for many years,” added the letter.
The signatories of the letter have asked the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran not to stop its nuclear programs or sign any treaty that deprive it of its established rights.
