A day after the terrorist attacks against two Iranian scientists, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warns of bringing permanent members of UN Security Council (UNSC) to trial, Press TV reported.
"By God, if such an incident takes place one more time, we will bring each permanent member of the United Nations Security Council to trial," said President Ahmadinejad in northern Iranian province of Mazandaran on Tuesday, IRNA reported.
"If the terror attack against Iranian scientists is repeated once more, we will pursue all cases before the Islamic Revolution, [in addition to] 160,000 martyrs of the Sacred Defense [in the Iraqi imposed war in the 1980's] and 40,000 martyrs in different parts of the country," he said.
"They think by taking away our nuclear scientists or scientists, our nation's momentum towards progress will stop," he emphasized. "This time too, they committed a mistake."
The Iranian chief executive cautioned enemies of the Islamic Revolution and said, "You are mistaken. We hold those who imposed the resolutions accountable for such crimes because in [one] resolution, they mentioned the names of our scientists as subject of the sanction."
"It is obvious that the United Nations is in cahoots with Zionists (Israelis)," President Ahmadinejad underlined.
He noted that history has proven that the Iranian nation knows how to teach enemies a lesson and make them feel remorseful.
Addressing arrogant powers, the Iranian president emphasized, "[Your] path of committing terror against Iranian scientists will merely make your case darker because the Iranian nation has so far given 200,000 martyrs, but has never stepped back (from its legitimate position)."
President Ahmadinejad pointed to the West's call for renewed talks with Iran, saying, "Is this how you want to start off the negotiations? Your conduct shows that your intent (in talks) is enmity."
Yet unidentified terrorists attached explosives to the cars of Dr. Majid Shahriari and Professor Fereydoun Abbasi in different locations on Monday morning. Shahriari was killed immediately after a blast, but Abbasi and his wife escaped the bombing with minor injuries.
Resolution 1747 adopted by the UNSC in March 2007 against the Islamic Republic specifically cited Abbasi's name as a "nuclear scientist," thus suggesting that perpetrators behind the assassination could be traced through those who included the professor's name in the UN resolution.
Iran has blamed Israel and Western powers for the terrorist attacks, hinting at the possible connection between the recent remarks of the head of the British intelligence agency (MI6) about Iran and the European Parliament's new stance regarding an anti-Iran terrorist group.
On July 12, Iranian nuclear physics scientist Dr. Massoud Ali-Mohammadi was killed in a remote-controlled bomb attack in the Iranian capital of Tehran.
