Iran easily thwarts threats: Larijani

Madrid, Feb 9, IRNA -

Iran is not a country to be threatened easily, Majlis Speaker of
Iran Ali Larijani said on Sunday in a meeting with Iranian residents
in Spain.

Accompanied by a delegation of lawmakers and deputies of oil and
foreign ministries, Larijani arrived in Madrid for talks with Spanish
officials following his trip to Germany where he participated in the
45th Munich Security Conference.

He was welcomed at Madrid's Barjas International Airport by secretary
general of the Spanish Congress of Deputies Manuel Alba.

Speaking in meeting with Spain-based Iranians, the speaker referred to
the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran as one of the exceptional
developments of the country?s contemporary history.

February 10 is the 30th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution?s victory.

?The correct decisions made by the Iranian leaders during the past 30
years helped Iranian people reach a state of self-reliance which is a
highly significant achievement of the Islamic Revolution,? Larijani
said.

While in Spain, the Iranian Speaker is to discuss major bilateral,
regional and international issues in separate meetings with Prime
Minister Luis Rodriguez Zapatra and Foreign Minister Miguel Angel
Moratinos as well as his Spanish counterpart Jose Bono.
