Iranians to form human chain around nuke facilities

Thousands of Iranian people, including a large number of university students, intend to form a human chain around one of the country's major nuclear facilities to voice support for Tehran's peaceful nuclear program.

Fars News Agency reports that the human chain is due to be formed around the Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) near the Central city of Isfahan.

During the ceremony initiated by Isfahan University students, people will support Iran's nuclear activities and protest against the report recently released by Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani in an open session of the parliament on Sunday, November 13, blasted the Agency for “serving the U.S. and Israeli policies on Iran,” specially in its latest report, and announced that the Iranian legislature “should soon start reviewing the country's future cooperation with the IAEA.”
