Iran's top nuclear negotiator has warned any threat against his country over its nuclear program will have repercussions on regional stability.

Speaking in Tehran, Saeed Jalili says Iran's security is important for the security of its neighbors, Iraq and Afghanistan.

He warns Tehran is fully prepared to face any threats, saying economic sanctions and bullying language will have no effect on Iran.

Jalili also says the IAEA report has proved accusations suggesting Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons are baseless. He stresses his country's irrefutable right to a nuclear programme geared toward electric power generation.
