Iran Rejects Obama 's 'Change'

President-elect Obama said (link) at his first press conference,
"Iran's development of a nuclear weapon, I believe, is unacceptable. And we have to mount a international effort to prevent that from happening. Iran's support of terrorist organizations, I think, is something that has to cease."

Iran's parliament speaker Ali Larijani response (link),
"Obama must know that the change that he talks about is not simply a superficial changing of colors or tactics," Larijani said in comments carried by the semi-official Mehr News Agency.

"What is expected is a change in strategy, not the repetition of objections to Iran's nuclear program, which will be taking a step in the wrong direction."

"you should know that you cannot prevent the Islamic Republic [from reaching its goals in the nuclear field],"(emphasis ed.)
