Salehi told reporters that Iran "will never cross its red lines or give up its rights specified in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and in the Charter of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)."
Commenting on recent claims made by certain foreign media that final goal of the West is to halt uranium enrichment in Iran, the vice-president stressed that enrichment "is an inalienable right of the Iranian nation’s.”
Referring to contradictory comments made by western powers after talks between Iran and Group 5+1 in Geneva, Switzerland, Salehi said making such comments is normal as western states are currently under pressure by their critics for taking new approach towards Iran.
"They make such remarks to neutralize those pressures," Salehi stressed.
As for the next inspection of Arak facilities by the IAEA inspectors, the AEOI chief said "there will be no more inspection" from Arak facilities.
However, Salehi added the next expert meeting between Iranian and the IAEA officials would be held in late January.
He added that the report on the IAEA inspection from Arak facilities would be provided to the UN nuclear watchdog's Board of Governors by the IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano.
