IFP - The head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran says the US seeks to promote a liberal-democratic system of government.



Ali-Akbar Salehi say the Islamic Republic of Iran has established a new method of ruling which is unacceptable and not understandable by the Americans.

�[This method of ruling] has jeopardised their colonial existence, and that is why they have got into a challenge with us,� the top official said, as quoted by the Persian-language Fars News Agency.

He then touched upon the dynamic nature of the Islamic Revolution of Iran which emerged victorious in 1979.

�The revolution is not that old. �Forty years� is not a long period of time as part of the history of a nation. However, this revolution has found its path and is moving on. A lot of infrastructure has been established during this period, and there are also a lot of problems that no one can deny. There is a long way to go to attain one�s ideals,� said Salehi.
The nuclear chief then stressed that the era of trial and error to run the country�s affairs is long gone.

�Today, conceptual studies are used to run the country, which has a bright future,� he noted.

�Our country does not want to be placed in the political orbit of others and wants to make decisions itself,� he said.

�We draw on our own experiences and tell good from evil. We do not want others to decide for us,� he underlined.

He said Islamic nations pride themselves on the accomplishments of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

�Today, the people of Muslim countries proudly become happy with Iran�s achievements and talk about them (those achievements). This is a great accomplishment. They have also realized that we have found the way, which has worried colonial powers,� Salehi said.
