---

April 25, 2006 (Stop Fundamentalism)- Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and Tehran’s top nuclear negotiator said Tuesday that Iran will cut off its relations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) if the UN Security Council imposes sanctions against it.

"If sanctions are imposed on Iran, then we will suspend our relations with the IAEA," Larijani cautioned the international community

Iran has caused and international standoff since 2003 when the Iranian opposition uncovered its clandestine nuclear activities.  IAEA referred Iran to the UN Security Council last year for noncompliance with its commitments to the None Proliferation Agreement which Iran is a signatory of.

Regarding a military attack Larijani said, "If the USA attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities, we will stop acting transparently in the nuclear field and continue covert nuclear work at other facilities," he said.

April 24, 2006 (Stop Fundamentalism) – Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, President of the theocratic government in Iran at a press conference in Tehran, said today that there was no need for talks with the United States over Iraq now that a permanent government had been formed there.

Regarding possible UN Security Council sanctions against Iran, Ahmadinejad said that it would be a "mistake" for other countries to introduce sanctions on Iran.

"If they place limitations on us it will be more damaging to them than to us," Ahmedinejad said.  "I think it is very unlikely for them to be so stupid as to do that."
 

Telegraph, Apr. 15- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran appeared to threaten Israel with a nuclear attack yesterday when he described it as a "rotten, dried tree" that would be annihilated by "one storm". In his most vitriolic and anti-semitic attack to date, Mr Ahmadinejad warned that Israel faced imminent destruction. While he did not refer explicitly to nuclear weapons, his reference to the "one storm" that would do away with Israel was seen as a code for nuclear Armageddon….

Speaking at the opening of a conference in Teheran to support the Palestinian cause, Mr Ahmadinejad repeated earlier anti-semitic attacks in Israel, questioning the scale of the Nazi Holocaust and attacking Zionism.

"Like it or not, the Zionist regime is heading toward annihilation," he said. "The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm."

And he poured scorn on the established history of the Holocaust, saying that an atrocity committed in Europe should be settled in Europe.
