| 2004-02-19 |
| "Nope. Nope. Never happened." Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi on Thursday categorically denied reports on existence of P-2 centrifuge at a military center in Iran, describing the reports as `unfounded`. According to Information and Press Bureau of the foreign ministry, Asefi said that the P-2 centrifuges are merely a `research project` that has not commissioned yet. Iran`s nuclear activities are intended for peaceful purposes and the country has not pursued, and still does not pursue, any nuclear military program, he underlined. No nuclear program is pursued at any Iranian military center and there are no P-2 centrifuges at those centers. |
