Yemen supports Irans right to peaceful nuclear program
SANAA - President Ali Abdullah Saleh said Yemen supports Irans right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, the official news agency Saba reported Saturday. Iran and any other Islamic state has the right to own nuclear energy to use for peaceful purposes, Saba quoted Saleh as saying in talks with visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki in Sanaa.
Iran has the right to develop peaceful uses. They signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and as long as they adhere to the rules and permit full inspection, they can build nuclear-powered electrical generating stations as they wish. That isn't the problem, and Mottaki knows it. | Mottaki also delivered a letter from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Saleh on developments in the region, mainly the Israeli aggression on the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, Saba said.
