Tehran, May 13 (Xinhua-ANI): Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated Iran's resolve to retain its absolute nuclear rights, the State IRIB TV website reported on Sunday.
"The Iranian nations will never give up its fundamental rights, " Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying in a visit to the northeastern Khorasan Razavi Province.
Ahmadinejad's remarks came as the Islamic republic and the world's major powers are preparing for a meeting on Iran's nuclear program with the hope to take steps to resolve the decade-age deadlock in the issue.
Hegemonic powers are making efforts to put obstacles in the way of Iran's development and the Iranian people will never be deceived by alien powers, said the Iranian president.
Last week, Ahmadinejad said that the Islamic republic would not retreat an iota from its rights under pressure of sanctions.
Talking in the northeastern city of Torbat-e Jam, Ahmadinejad said that "they (the West) should know that this nation will not retreat even an iota from its inalienable rights," reported the local satellite Press TV on Thursday.
The last round of nuclear talks between Iran and the UN Security Council's five permanent members-the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China-plus Germany (G5+1) concluded in Turkey's Istanbul in April, with all sides describing the talks as positive and agreeing to meet again in the Iraqi capital on May 23.
