(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Ahmadinejad said in interview with Euronews TV channel on Wednesday: “Those who say Iran is moving toward the production of nuclear weapons are not Western scientists; they are Western politicians.”
The president said Iran's production of 20-percent enriched uranium is for purely peaceful purposes and is used to produce radio medicines.
He stated: “Twenty percent is good for nothing else...it can only be used for medicine and agriculture. Iran is among the few countries in the world that all their nuclear activities are under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and when it has declared that it is not after producing nuclear weapons, it really does not plan to do so.”
The president further scoffed at attempts by some Western powers to expand their nuclear arsenals.
Ahmadinejad argued that nuclear arms not only are against humanity but also endanger those countries who wield such weapons more than other nations.
He added that: “The nuclear bomb is no use anymore”, recalling Israel's failure to achieve its goals in the 22-day Gaza war in December 2008-January 2009, and its heavy losses in the 2006 war against Lebanon despite the nuclear warheads Tel Aviv possesses.
He stressed that nuclear weapons are of no use today, noting, “Today, thoughts and humans are the factors that can affect the global equations. We believe that no one will be able to use the nuclear bomb in the future. It is finished.”
