Pointing to Yukia Amano’s visit to Tehran and in response to Western media claim that he will hold meetings with Iranian nuclear scientists, Seyyed Hossein Naghavi Hosseini asserted that, “as the Leader has explicitly warned that foreigners will not be allowed to interrogate Iranian scientists, this issue will remain a red line that cannot be crossed.”
“Based on the Leader’s remarks, we have announced our position to the Parliament and we would never change our minds on this matter,” he added.
Naghavi Hosseini further stated that, “no limit has been established for this ban and it has been emphasized that no authority has the right to speak with or question our scientists.”
“Amano’s trip must only focus on joint programs between Iran and IAEA in order to preserve the nuclear rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he underlined.
