Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Iran's nuclear success celebration will take place during "Ten-Day Dawn" period annually marked in Iran on the occasion of the victory of Islamic Revolution. "This year's Ten-Day Dawn (February 1-11) period will mark the Iranian nation's success in mastering fuel cycle as well as its achievements in other fields," said Ahmadinejad at a press briefing on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Iran's envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Ali-Asghar Soltaniyeh delivered Tuesday Iran's protest letter to IAEA Director General Mohammed ElBaradei detailing Israeli threats of a possible attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
In the protest letter, relevant clauses and statements in documents of the United Nations and IAEA have been included to back up the country's claim. According to IRNA, the protest letter is to be downloaded as a document in the IAEA website.
Referring to IAEA Resolution 533, the letter calls for prompt condemnation of Israel's threats against Iran.
IAEA Resolution 533 underlines that any threat or attack on nuclear facilities already operating or under construction will be regarded as a violation of the UN Charter, IAEA letters of association and international rules and regulations and requires swift response from the UN Security Council, it said.
The letter urges the IAEA director-general to promptly condemn the Zionist threats and take proper action to prevent similar threats. "On November 10, 2006, Ephrain Sneh, a deputy minister in the Israeli cabinet, said that the regime may launch a pre-emptive military strike against Iran's peaceful nuclear program.
