President Khatami: Iran never seeks nuclear weapons

IRNA

Tehran, Oct 22, IRNA -- President Mohammad Khatami stressed here 
Wednesday Iran`s peaceful nuclear activities and said Iran never 
seeks nuclear weapons. 
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the cabinet`s session, 
Khatami underlined the recent meeting between foreign ministers of 
France, Britain and Germany in Tehran and Iran`s agreement to join 
the Additional Protocol to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. 
If Iran were after acquiring nuclear weapons, its agreement to 
join the NPT additional protocol would mean imposition of restrictions
on the country, Khatami said, adding "But since we have not been 
following this course (acquiring nuclear weapons), therefore we have 
not lost anything." 
Peaceful nuclear technology means converting ore into uranium 3.5 
percent for the fuel of nuclear power plants, the president noted. 
"This is our demand and we will not give up our right at all," he 
stressed.
