Provisional Friday Prayer leader of Tehran said Friday nuclear energy is a part of our Islamic and Iranian culture, stressing "we will never abandon this "value and advantage." Ayatollah Mohammad Emami-Kashani, addressing thousands of Tehrani worshipers, added in his second sermon at central campus of Tehran university, "The Islamic Republic of Iran would never retreat from demanding its absolute nuclear right, because the nuclear issue is a national project."
Emphasizing that Iran's rights regarding nuclear issue need to be preserved, he reiterated, "How can an Iranian ever abandon the technology that is among the pillars of the country's scientific advancement, prestigious entity, and Islamic civilization." Addressing the oppressor world, Emami-Kashani said, "We do not care about your obligations and prohibitions, and you had better heed the world nations' strong protest, displayed in rallies against your conduct."
Emphasizing on peaceful nature of Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear activities, he said, "The enemy's claim that we are after manufacturing nuclear bombs is a lie coined against us, since we have time and again pointed out that such bombs have no place in our Islamic system. An Islamic system would not do such things, that you normally do."
