DAMASCUS (IRNA) – The Iranian embassy in Syria in a statement issued on Thursday denied the claim made by the Zionist daily, Yedioth Ahronoth, about the visit of Israeli experts to Iran describing the report as baseless.

The document, a copy of which was faxed to the IRNA representative office in Damascus, quoted an Iranian diplomat as saying that the report has been released while the degree of hostility of the Zionist regime with Iran, on account of Iran's will to seek justice, is clear to everyone and the Zionist politicians admit giving priority to measures against Iran.

The Iranian diplomat pointed to Iran's constant stance in not recognizing Israel and severing relations with this regime in all economic, agricultural and technical fields since the victory of the Islamic Revolution and said, "The Zionist regime tries to mislead public opinion through hypocrisy and propaganda, while pretending that its ties with Islamic countries are normal."

Iran will never succumb to pressure, intimidation: envoy

Iran's Ambassador to Athens Mehdi Mohtashami said on Thursday that Tehran would never yield to pressure and intimidation.

Talking to reporters, Mohtashami stressed Iran's inalienable and undeniable right for peaceful use of nuclear energy based on the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

"Diplomacy and resumption of constructive and purposeful talks are still the best solution to Iran's nuclear case," he said.

Asked about the possibility of imposing sanctions against Iran within the framework of adoption of a resolution based on Chapter Seven of the United Nations Charter, he said, "Such a resolution needs to have a legal basis whose concern would not be Iran."

The ambassador added that various news and analyses on the U.S. possible military attack on Iran are just a psychological war to threaten Iran to renounce its rights.
