Jalili Accuses Germany of Backing MKO
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili accused Germany of supporting anti-Iran terrorist group, the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), by allowing the group to have "bases" in that country.
Talking to the online site of the Hamburg-based weekly news magazine Der Spiegel, Jalili said, "The Berlin government is promoting (MKO) terror" … by permitting it to have "bases in Germany."
The top Iranian official held the MKO responsible for attacks in his country, the Islamic republic news agency reported.
Meanwhile, Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator said he was cautiously upbeat on prospects for progress at next week’s nuclear talks in Geneva, Switzerland, featuring Iranian officials and diplomatic representatives of the five UN veto powers plus Germany.
"I am traveling "with optimism to the negotiations but we are also realists," added Jalili.
He stressed although Iranian officials would discuss the nuclear question at Thursday’s meeting in Switzerland, it would not include the issue of uranium enrichment.
He vowed Iran would "never surrender its right" of having a nuclear enrichment program.
Jalili made clear Tehran did not fear western threats of tightening sanctions.
The Iranian official said it was up to the US and Europe to make concessions in the stalemate over Tehran’s nuclear program.
"It’s up to the West now to make a move," Jalili added.
