Boroujerdi: Iran does not allow foreign gov'ts to dictate something

Kashan, Feb 19, IRNA - Chairman of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Thursday that Iran does not allow foreign governments to dictate something. The Islamic Republic of Iran under huge economic sanctions could attain success in various fields and there is no doubt that Iran possesses top status in the world in terms of missile capabilities. Iranian nation gave many martyrs to attain independence, freedom and dignity, he said. The great Iranian nation under no circumstances will allow the foreign governments to dictate something about national affairs, he underlined. Iran's power in military dimension is not comparable to its status before the Iraqi-imposed war 1980-1988, he said. Iran has successfully passed 36 years of economic sanctions and that the sanctions had nothing to do with the country's nuclear program, they were imposed after seizure of US den of spy, he said. All scientific breakthrough in the fields of missile, nuclear, nanotechnology and space occurred while the country was under tough economic sanctions, he said.
