Pointing to the West’s allegations against Iran’s nuclear energy program, Rahimi said, “Having bombs does not bring progress to a country, but [true] progress takes place in the scientific sector.”
He further noted that Israel’s anti-Iran war threats are nonsensical comments as the Zionist regime of Israel claims to be planning Iran attack whereas it suffered a heavy defeat against the empty hands of the Lebanese Hezbollah.”
The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran argues that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is entitled to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Rahimi also referred to the recently produced anti-Islam film saying that Muslims respect all the divine prophets.
“There is no doubt that producers and supporters of this sacrilegious film are even against [such] divine prophets as Moses and Jesus Christ, but Islam respects these prophets and we love them as much as the Prophet of Islam (PBUH),” he said.
Fury over the US-made anti-Islam film produced by an Israeli-American has spread across the Muslim world, with protesters marching on the US embassies and torching the US flags.
The blasphemous film has been made through Jewish donations totaling USD 5 million.
