On Jan 17, 2019, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Bahram Ghassemi talked of the peaceful scientific activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran emphasizing that no country has the right to deprive other countries of peaceful scientific technology.
Addressing US and France, Ghassemi said: "In the wake of the crisis in West Asia, which has become virtually a weapons dump, brimming with Western weaponry, because of the excessive, unnecessary, and uncontrolled export of hundreds of billions of dollars of Western arms to this region, shameful crimes are taking place in countries allied to Washington and Paris, which certainly should be a source of concern more than the peaceful scientific activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran." 103/ 211/ 210
