Iran not to withdraw from non-proliferation treaty - Larijani
 (Itar-Tass) - Iran has no intention to withdraw from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, but will reconsider its attitude to the International Atomic Energy Agency in case of continuation of hostile actions against it, Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani was quoted by the Iranian TV Channel on Wednesday as saying.You could always be, um, violently expelled. Iran will complete nuclear research works soon, which will result in acquiring the fundamental knowledge, he said. And once you have "the fundamental knowledge"? Larijani pointed out that Russia does not agree with several provision of the UN Security Council resolution (on Irans nuclear dossier Itar-Tass). Sanctions envisioned by the UN Security Council resolution will not affect Irans nuclear progress as the Islamic Republic irrespective of all previous sanctions get hold of nuclear technologies, he said. Agreed - the UNSC is little different from any other useless UN thingy. Larijani recalled that at the talks with High Representative for the EUs Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana last summer and autumn Iran offered to create a consortium (on uranium enrichment) to persuade the world community that Tehran is not developing a nuclear bomb.
