TEHRAN, Jan. 02 (ISNA)-Iran parliament national security and foreign affairs spokesman stated that Iran was not after nuclear weapons, but it was after becoming a nuclear country.
"We can continue to industrial scale enrichment even without exiting the Non-Proliferation Treaty; we are after becoming a nuclear country," said Kazim Jalali.
"Of course currently we do not intend to exit this treaty and mean to continue our cooperation with the IAEA, although this issue has been mentioned and thought on in the parliament," he said.
"The path selected by the West only leads to a lose-lose end, and this exactly is what we had tried to avoid from the beginning; we intended for both sides to win not lose," he said.
"The U.S. is trying to take the sanction against Iran towards an economic sanction. They want to wage war against us using economic levers; they are trying to separate the nation from the government," Jalali explained.
"This issue, due to problems the U.S. is facing in the region is not easy and according to the Becker and Hamilton report the U.S. so to release itself from its current condition in the region has no alternative but to negotiate with Iran," he noted
