Iran raps support for nuclear Israel

“They are not against atomic bombs because there are people in our region who even lack the legitimacy to govern but Western countries have equipped them with more than 250 nuclear warheads and are firmly supporting them,” said President Ahmadinejad at a Thursday press conference on the sidelines of the Rio+20 Earth Summit in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro.

The Zionists [Israelis] explicitly announce that they possess atomic bombs and use them to threaten nations, he added and stated that “if atomic bombs and their possession are illegal and that no country in the Middle East should possess them, [then] why the Israeli regime and the US government as well as certain European countries who have stockpiled thousands of atomic bombs for themselves are not opposed?”

The Iranian chief executive went on to emphasize that Western countries oppose Iran’s progress in scientific and technological fields.

“Nuclear weapons are a mere pretext in their hands to put Iran under pressure and impede or block our nation’s progress,” he pointed out.

He said that Western powers are misusing the UN Security Council and expect that the Islamic Republic would yield to their demands and suspend its nuclear energy program.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly announced that it does not seek to build atomic bombs and no diversion has been proven in our nuclear energy activities,” Ahmadinejad added.

He warned arrogant powers that the path of imposing sanctions against the Iranian people is wrong.
