Iran's Secretary of the Guardian Council (GC) Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati on Friday said that despite the failure of the US policy towards the country`s nuclear activities and the examination of the issue by the IAEA Board of Governors, the Americans have not yet given up working at it.
He added that the US has now brought up the issue of human rights violation in Iran and assigning a representative to investigate the case. "They consider the assessment of the backgrounds of Majlis (Parliament) nominees and the arrest of culprits by the Judiciary in Iran as violation of human rights, while their constant crimes in Palestine do not seem to overlook such rights," he added.
Turning to the air raid against the Iraqi city of Sumera as an example, he expressed, according to IRNA, the pity felt over the violated rights of the oppressed people of Iraq and Palestine falling victim to such atrocities.
"Once they fail to come up with any pretext to claim human rights violation, they resort to the Middle East peace process and campaign against terrorism to proceed with their intentions. "Nonetheless, under the supervision of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and with the public support, we have so long resisted such threats and will do so hereafter," he added.
