Iran is ready to share its nuclear technology with other Islamic countries, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying yesterday. The comments heightened Western concerns about Tehran's nuclear program just ahead of a key meeting of the UN's nuclear watchdog this month. "The Islamic Republic never seeks weapons of mass destruction and with respect to the needs of Islamic countries, we are ready to transfer nuclear know-how to these countries," the official IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.The remarks were made during Ahmadinejad's meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, IRNA said. Washington and its allies say Iran has failed to provide full and timely information about its nuclear program and are alarmed that Tehran last month broke UN seals at a uranium processing facility. A vote on sending Iran's nuclear case to the UN Security Council may be taken at a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency's board on Sept. 19.
