TEHRAN, June 12 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said on Thursday that the one-sided and stubborn approach of the U.S. president on Iran's legal rights would not make any change in Iran's peaceful nuclear activities.

    According to a Foreign Ministry press release, Hosseini said that recent irresponsible remarks made by U.S. President George W. Bush are the continuation of provocative policies adopted by the new conservatives in the U.S. administration who try to make baseless allegations about the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities.

    The failed policies of the Bush administration would only serve to consolidate the Iranian people's unity and resolve to defend their legal rights, he said, urging American officials to observe international regulations and avoid isolation in the world.

    Iranian officials have proven their good-will, said Hosseini referring to Iran's package of proposals on the nuclear issue, adding that the best way to reach a mutual agreement is to recognize the legal rights of the Iranian nation.

    Speaking at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday, Bush reiterated the possibility of a military strike to thwart Iran's presumed nuclear weapons ambitions, though he also repeated that he favored a diplomatic solution.
