Ahmadinejad: Iran does not want atomic weapons

PanARMENIAN.Net - International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has rejected a report that it conceals a document proving that Iran is secretly developing atomic weapons and delivery vehicles. "The IAEA has no concrete evidence that the Islamic republic had or has a secret program to develop nuclear weapons," the representative of the agency said.  

   

Earlier, APdisseminated a release that IAEA's experts are certain that Iran already has the means to build a nuclear bomb and is currently developing rocket carriers.  AP recalled a secret document of IAEA. This document is the clearest evidence that IAEA members share the views of the U.S. in respect to Tehran's atomic capabilities. Perhaps this document is an appendix to the report, which, according to Washington, deliberately withheld by the IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei. It allegedly says that IAEA has "sufficient evidence" of Iran's ability to build an atomic bomb and overcome difficulties of elaboration of delivery vehicles fitted with nuclear warheads.  

 

  Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an interview with NBC U.S. television said that Iran does not want atomic weapons. "There's no need. The events in the world are developing in our expected scenario. Roll-out by Iran its nuclear program may not be a matter of discussion", Ahmadinejad said.  

 

On October 1, five countries, permanent members of UN Security Council and Germany intend to discuss with Iran its nuclear program. The representative of Iran to the IAEA Ali Ashgar Soltanieh called this meeting a great chance. According to him, the Iranian nation has opened the door, and the West should immediately take advantage of it.
