TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Judiciary Spokesman and Prosecutor-General Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejeii described the US-led western sanctions against Tehran as a driving force behind the countrys astonishing scientific progress, saying that the US allies in the region are years behind Iran in science and technology.
The enemies of the Islamic Republic have been attempting for 35 years to pressure us economically, politically, socially and culturally, Ejeii said, addressing a number of senior directors of Irans General Inspection Office (GIO) in Tehran on Sunday.

He said that those western countries which claim to be pioneering in support for human rights have even imposed embargos on the supply of medical and pharmaceutical products to Iran and endangered the life of a large number of Iranian patients.

Meantime, Ejeii referred to Irans eye-catching growth and progress in different fields despite sanctions, and said, If you look at our scientific progress, you will see our (high) position in this field and the (lower) position of those countries like Saudi Arabia which are servers of the US.

In relevant remarks in December, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan warned of enemies attempts to prevent Tehrans scientific progress, but meantime, said such hostile efforts can no way hinder the countrys achievements, specially in the field of nuclear technology.

The enemies of Iran are trying to hinder the Islamic Iranian society's success in producing science, but our country is famous in the world scientifically, Dehqan said in the Northern city of Tonekabon.

Stressing that the enemies can no more conceal and dispute Irans indigenized nuclear know-how, he said, The enemies boastful remarks (against Iran) are to appease the Zionist regime.

Enjoying the nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear enrichment is not something simple to pass by since the nuclear know-how brings the arrogant countries to their knees, Dehqan said.

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 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.

The Islamic Republic says that it considers its nuclear case closed as it has come clean of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)'s questions and suspicions about its past nuclear activities.

On November 24, Iran and the five permanent United Nations Security Council members- the US, Russia, France, China, and Britain- plus Germany sealed a six-month accord to lay the groundwork for the full resolution of the Wests decade-old dispute with Iran over its nuclear energy program.

In exchange for Tehrans confidence-building bid to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities, the Sextet of world powers agreed to lift some of the existing sanctions against Tehran.
