“If they (the P5+1 countries) seek to play with words and raise irrelevant issues, the meeting will undoubtedly achieve no outcome,” Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday.
Velayati expressed hope the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - Russia, China, France, Britain and the US - plus Germany would acknowledge Iran's absolute nuclear rights within the framework of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Iran will neither violate the NPT regulations nor give up its nuclear rights, the senior official reiterated.
Iran and the P5+1 wrapped up their latest round of comprehensive talks in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on May 24 after two days of negotiations.
Both sides agreed to hold another round of talks in Moscow on June 18-19.
Velayati also downplayed Israel’s threats to attack Iran and said no country will dare launch an attack on the Islamic Republic.
“Iran is a big and coherent country and is regarded as the top power in the region. No country such as the US and Zionist regime [Israel] has the capability to attack Iran,” he stated.
If a person commits such madness, the Islamic Republic will respond in such a way that will be a lesson to others, he added.
“They [Israelis] have neither the power nor the courage to make such a move,” the top Iranian official pointed out.
The United States and Israel have repeatedly threatened Tehran with the “option” of a military strike in attempts to force Iran to halt its nuclear energy program, which they say has a military aspect despite being closely monitored by inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Iran has fiercely rejected the Western publicity, insisting that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the IAEA, it is entitled to pursue nuclear technology for its numerous civilian uses and benefits.
