He made the remark in response to the recent claims by certain American and European officials regarding the test launch of Simorgh and said that making progress in aerospace is the inalienable right of the Iranian nation, stressing that such intervening statements will never weaken Iran's will to progress in this field.
Khatibzadeh stressed that nothing in the Islamic Republic of Iran prohibits making progress in aerospace research and experiments, including the satellites.
Given this, he added, these officials remarks about the Resolution 2231 is a useless fallacy and fundamentally untrue.
He said as stated before, Iran has the right to use peaceful technologies in service of scientific-research progress based on international standards and will not wait for the opinion of other countries in the this regard.
Khatibzadeh went on to express the gratitude of the Iranian nation for the young scientists who managed to achieve such progress in spite of illegal and unjust sanctions.
