Director of the Islamic Parliament: "The Supreme Leader's word is as good as a guarantee"

Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzz
Hadad Adel, the Director of the Parliament of the Islamic regime, in a speech in Beirut, anxiously spoke of the outcome of the regime's nuclear dossier. Adel, whose daughter is married to Khamnei's son, said: "If we are forced to surrender to the international scene's blackmail [this time], who knows how far the blackmailing and impositions will go." He then flippantly continued: "These Europeans keep saying that they want a guarantee that you are not building weapons of mass destruction; well our leader's word is as good as a guarantee. Our leader, our religion, our customs tell us that we should not build weapons of mass destruction and we have been honest about this with the Europeans."

According to Adel: "The Islamic Republic is in one of it's best periods and is experiencing great calm and stability!"
