Tehran MP: Iran Should Have National Satellite

TEHRAN, April 28--A lawmaker from Tehran Saeed Abutaleb has called for launching national satellite to enable Iran to broadcast to a larger audience in other countries. He pointed out that at present, access of Western media to the Iranian public is one thousand against one compared with Iranian media’s availability to the audience in other countries due to not having satellite. “If we possess a satellite, ... it will also help us emerge as a regional power.“ He further said that research center of parliament has concluded that Iran should not waste time in launching a satellite into orbit because such a delay may be detrimental to national interests. Abutaleb, who is a member of the Majlis Cultural Commission, criticized the government’s cultural program announced so far. “At one time they say satellite TV programs are prohibited while at other times they say that satellite programs are allowed. I’m saying both of such statements are wrong and satellite programs should neither be prohibited nor freely accessible. “They should be filtered by IRIB and be provided to the public in the form of cable TV networks,“ he concluded.

Nation Aiming for Zenith of Progress

April 28--President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Friday that access to peaceful nuclear energy is a first step taken by the nation to conquer other peaks of progress. “The Iranian youth and scientists will conquer peaks of science and technology in all fields step by step, and stand at the zenith of international progress,“ the president said. "All Iranians have a duty to work for the development of the country. Iran should become the most advanced and powerful country in the world.“

In a meeting with war veterans of the province on Thursday, Ahmadinejad said that victory of the Iranian nation is tantamount to victory of all the free people of the world. “Today, Iranians are not the only people to rejoice over the country’s mastering the nuclear fuel cycle. Leaders of many countries have conveyed to us that victory of Iranians is victory of all states. “A nation that can achieve peaceful nuclear energy despite the sanctions, is capable of defending it,“ he told the former combatants who fought in the bloody 1980-88 Iraq-imposed military conflict*.

He added that proposals on suspending the nuclear fuel cycle even for a single day under the pretext of recognizing Iran’s nuclear rights** are a new plot.
