Iran’s Larijani blasts west over nuclear deal
Parliament speaker Ali Larijani lashed out at the West on Saturday for trying to dupe Iran with a proposed nuclear fuel deal, just a day after the foreign minister said that agreement was close.
“They (Western powers) say that you (Iran) must provide fuel for the Tehran reactor the way we say and, if you don’t do this, we will punish you,” the Mehr news agency quoted Larijani as saying.
“But they know this is a political swindle and that they are trying to ensure Iran’s enriched uranium” is removed from the Islamic republic.
Larijani and other Iranian officials have repeatedly criticized the proposed deal since it was first discussed in Vienna in October with France, Russia and the United States. AFP
Iran’s judiciary chief refuses to speed executions
Iran’s judiciary chief says he will not give in to political pressure to speed up the execution of opposition activists.
Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani says some in the ruling hard-line establishment are pushing the judiciary to step beyond the law in the crackdown on the opposition.
In December, hard-line government supporters attending street rallies called for opposition leaders to be executed. Two men convicted of plotting to overthrow the Islamic leadership were hanged Thursday.
