Substitute Friday prayers leader of Tehran Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati said Friday that the IAEA Chief Mohammad ElBaradei's February 22 Iran report is a "solid evidence of Iranian nation's righteousness and of the US failure."

 

Delivering his second Friday prayers sermon at Tehran University campus, Ayatollah Jannati congratulated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and the Iranian people and officials over the "country's nuclear" victory following the IAEA report.  "ElBaradei's report was a proof of elimination of ambiguities and charges, that have been raised against the righteous Iranian nation, and was a guarantor of our victory over enemies, especially the US," he added, according to IRNA.

 

He also warned against issuance of another resolution against Iran by the UN Security Council. "The (Iranian) nation has vowed God, the prophet (PBUH) and its leader not to backdown its strong and right (nuclear) stances even one iota," he said.
