10. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, Iranian Parliament Speaker:
"What President Ahmadinejad said yesterday was that shipment of all the technology of the enrichment of uranium by the Islamic Republic of Iran, for producing fuel for the power plant of Iran, has been done of the basis of the rules and regulations of the IAEA as well as the provisions of the NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty). This should not create any worries for the region. What has created worries, in fact, is the propaganda launched against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its peaceful. nuclear activities."

12. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, Iranian Parliament Speaker:
"We think that the peaceful use of nuclear technology within the framework of the rules and regulations of the IAEA and the provisions of the NPT does not justify an attack against the nuclear facilities of Iran, and in addition we believe the US has learned lessons from its attack on Iraq and it is not going to repeat the same mistake."

STORYLINE:
Iran''s parliament speaker on Wednesday said Iran believes the United States has "learned lessons" from the war in Iraq and would not "repeat the same mistake."
Speaking at a regional Islamic conference in Istanbul, Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel said Iran''s nuclear programme complied with the rules set by the UN nuclear watchdog and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT).
His comments come a day after Iran announced it had succeeded in enriching uranium on a small scale for the first time, using 164 centrifuges, at a facility in the central town of Natanz.
Enrichment is a key process that can produce either fuel for a reactor or the material needed for a nuclear reactor.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced the enrichment success in a nationally televised ceremony, saying that the country''s nuclear ambitions are peaceful and warning the West that trying to force Iran to abandon enrichment would "cause an everlasting hatred in the hearts of Iranians."
The announcement quickly raised condemnations from the US and Britain.
On Wednesday, meanwhile, Iran''s deputy nuclear chief said Iran intended to move toward large-scale uranium enrichment involving 54,000 centrifuges, signalling the country''s resolve to expand a programme, despite a UN Security Council has demand that it halt all enrichment activity by April 28.
An article published on Monday in the New Yorker magazine claims the the US has drawn up secret plans to attack facilities in Iran if it refuses to abandon its alleged nuclear programme.
The US government has dismissed the claims as "wild speculation."
