Larijani Warns EU from US Tricks, Says Iran Will Not Retreat from NPT

Iranian Speaker Ali Larijani assured that Western actions should not lead Iran to take unmeasured decisions that might include retreating from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Following his talks with Islamic Scholars in Qom, Larijani told reporters that western stances undermined the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and now Iran has two choices, either commit to the treaty, or leave it which might lead to its weakness.

He stressed on the importance of completely applying the NPT.

Larijani pointed out the importance of Iran's proposals for negotiations on the uranium exchange, in addition to a list of suggestions that if followed will have positive results on the Iranian nuclear file path.

On the other hand, in reaction to the EU attempt to approve sanctions, Iranian Speaker advised the European Union not to adopt hostile stands on Iran.

He said, "If the enemies dare to hurl stones at us, they should be watchful that the soil of Iran will go into their eyes."

Larijani said that the European leaders examined the actual situation as they share common interests with Iran and the region.

"However, in the past ten years, the US urged the Europeans to adopt hostile stands on Iran to attain its sinister goals and push them to take a leading role to this end, but to no avail," he added.

Larijani said the EU should not to be trapped by the old US and Zionist regime tricks, they should not assume that they must follow the resolution of the United Nations Security Council by devising sanctions.
