TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's scientific,
industrial, technological
advancements have angered the US, a
senior Iranian defense official said,
adding that the rhetoric of the US and
its allies changed after Iran
successfully launched its first satellite
four years ago.
"The science, industry, and technology of
the Iranians has enraged the West,"
Deputy Defense Minister for Industrial
and Research Affairs Mohammad Eslami
told FNA in the Northern Iranian city of
Babolsar in Mazandaran province on
Sunday.
"The West's rhetoric changed after Iran
successfully launched its first satellite in
2008 and they tried to create obstacles
(to block Iran's advancements) at any
price ," he added.
Eslami noted that the West's attempts to
find fault with Iran's nuclear program is
just a fake pretext for exerting more
pressures on the Iranian nation to
prevent its progress.
Iran has taken wide strides in space
science and technology in the last few
years. The country has now announced
plans to display its new space
achievements by sending heavier home-
made satellites to higher altitudes by the
next few years.
There would be a new round of space
progression in Iran by 2013. Iran plans to
send Tolou (Rise) and Fajr (Dawn)
satellites into orbit and improve satellite
carriers by efforts made by local experts
in this regard.
Iran would be able to put satellites into
orbit of up to 36000 km in the near
future, according to the Iran Space
Agency.
Washington and its Western allies accuse
Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons
under the cover of a civilian nuclear
program, while they have never
presented any corroborative evidence to
substantiate their allegations. Iran denies
the charges and insists that its nuclear
program is for peaceful purposes only.
Tehran stresses that the country has
always pursued a civilian path to provide
power to the growing number of Iranian
population, whose fossil fuel would
eventually run dry.
Despite the rules enshrined in the Non-
Proliferation Treaty (NPT) entitling every
member state, including Iran, to the right
of uranium enrichment, Tehran is now
under four rounds of UN Security Council
(UNSC) sanctions for turning down West's
calls to give up its right of uranium
enrichment.
Tehran has dismissed West's demands as
politically tainted and illogical, stressing
that sanctions and pressures merely
consolidate Iranians' national resolve to
continue the path.
Tehran has repeatedly said that it
considers its nuclear case closed as it has
come clean of IAEA's questions and
suspicions about its past nuclear
activities.
Political observers believe that the United
States has remained at loggerheads with
Iran mainly over the independent and
home-grown nature of Tehran's nuclear
technology, which gives the Islamic
Republic the potential to turn into a world
power and a role model for the other
third-world countries. Washington has
laid much pressure on Iran to make it give
up the most sensitive and advanced part
of the technology, which is uranium
enrichment, a process used for producing
nuclear fuel for power plants.
