Iran does not aim to possess nuke weapons: ambassador
Iranian ambassador to Russia said on Wednesday that his country 'does not aim to possess nuclear weapons'. "Our equipment, including centrifuges developed on the basis of Iranian technology, are capable of producing only four-percent uranium for ordinary nuclear fuel," the ambassador, Gholamreza Shafei told Itar-Tass, turning pale. However, 'other technologies are needed for creating weapons components', he stressed. The diplomat also emphasized that 'Iran is going to continue the implementation of an atomic program in line with its earlier plans'. "That program is transparent. It is aimed only at peaceful targets, connected with the development of power industry and economy," the ambassador added. "Iran meets all commitments as IAEA member, and conceals nothing from the world community," Shafei stressed.
"Really. Come and look for yourselves. Please."
According to him, 'fears voiced in the USA about an alleged military orientation of the Iranian nuclear sector have no grounds and lack argument'.
