Ahmadinejad: Iran could revise its nuclear strategy

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Feb 11, IRNA

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned here Saturday that Iran could revise its nuclear strategy in case Western countries insist on blocking its efforts to access peaceful nuclear technology in accordance with NPT rules and regulations.

The president was speaking before millions of people gathered at Azadi Square in western Tehran marking the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

Addressing Western countries, he said, "If we see that by relying on the regulations of the Non-Proliferation Treaty the Iranian nation's right to have access to peaceful nuclear technology would be denied, the Iranian nation will revise its strategies."
"Up until now, Iran's policy has been to make use of this peaceful technology in specialized fields within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the NPT."
Stressing that Western countries have damaged the authority of the NPT, he reiterated that the Iranian nation "will not give up its right and your threats and intimidations will not bear any fruit." "This nation is not afraid of any power," he added, and urged the whole world to take note of this.

Addressing Western countries, he said, "The Iranian nation relies on God and its potentials."
"The Iranian nation is telling you now that although you have Mammon, you do not have God. But God is with us.

"The Iranian nation has treated you with decency. We are a tolerant people, but do not make us lose our patience.

"Do not do something that can make us change our policies," the president warned.
