Senior Iranian Official: We Did Not Stop Uranium Enrichment during Khatami’s Presidency
Hassan Rohani, who served as secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council during the Khatami administration, denied Ahmadinejad’s accusations that the reformists had suspended Iran’s uranium enrichment during Khatami’s presidency.
He claimed that one of the purposes of the nuclear dossier negotiations during that period was to buy time to complete the construction of the nuclear facilities in Esfahan and Natanz.
He added that the Khatami government had not suspended for a single moment either the construction of Iran’s nuclear infrastructures or nuclear testing, and that, in contrast to Ahmadinejad’s government, it had succeeded in preventing sanctions against Iran and in making achievements vis-à-vis the West.
