Government spokesman: Iran will not follow EU policies
Tehran, July 23, IRNA -- Government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh
here on Wednesday reacted to EU foreign ministers anti-Iran statement
and said that Iran will not follow Europe's policies.
Speaking to reporters after the cabinet weekly meeting, he replied
to a reporter who asked about his view on EU recent decisions saying
that the EU outlooks expressed yesterday mark their own policies.
"Our policies are determined in accordance with national interests
and we shall always make decisions on the basis of our own principles
and in line with our public interests," he noted.
Ramezanzadeh said, "We have already declared our positive stance
on the additional protocol to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
(NPT) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the related
negotiations. However, our trust on the issue should be attracted."
According to a section of the Western media, EU foreign ministers
in their Monday meeting in Brussels declared that if Iran does not
cooperate with IAEA, further expansion of Iran-EU ties will be
endangered.

Several soldiers and militiamen have been arrested following the incendie that destroyed, on Wednesday, the Ghassr e Firoozeh Military depots by destroying millions of dollars of goods.
These suspects who have been placed, already, under duress in order to extract "confessions on link with US Intelligence" are kept by the Intelligence offices of the Pasdaran Corp. responding to the regime's Supreme Leader offices. The names of several of them are "Soldier Asghar Roohi", "Soldier Seyed-Jalil Guilani" and "Soldier Reza Shadloo". They will be facing death penalty following their forced confessions.
The situation among the military forces is very tense and many of them are rejecting the rule of the Islamic regime hoping for an occasion to defect.
Several of them have been killed in mysterious incidents, over the last weeks, and each time the files have been confiscated by the Intelligence offices of the Pasdaran Corp. which has attributed, later, these deaths to "suicide".
