Rowhani: US should not terrify world, Iran not after nuclear arms

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Bandar Anzali, Gilan prov, March 8, IRNA -- Secretary of the Supreme 
National Security Council (SNSC) Hassan Rowhani stressed that Iran is 
not after developing nuclear arms and mass killing weapons and 
recommended the US not to terrify the world with hollow allegations. 
Making the remarks in a ceremony to commemorate the 400 martyrs of
Bandar Anzali in north of the country on Monday night, he said that 
Iran was not, as a principle, in need of any forms of nuclear bombs. 
He also stressed that Iran was not a lover of adventurism and 
never intended to enter wars with any country. 
However, the SNSC secretary underlined, Iran needed new sciences, 
advanced technology and nuclear energy for its infrastructural and 
construction projects. 
Pointing out that the world would never have even thought of 
seeing Iran as the owner of modern nuclear technology after 25 years 
of severe sanctions it has been suffering, he expressed that the fact 
that Iran never hired any foreign expert for its peaceful nuclear 
projects made a source of concern for the world. 
He said Iranian scientists have now made the world admit that Iran
is a scientific and technological power. 
According to Rowhani, the recent report of the International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) mentions Iran as the eighth in the list of
13 world countries which are capable of manufacturing equipment needed
in producing nuclear fuel. 
He further remarked that the Iranian nation would confront any 
threats and resist any attacks.
