Iranian president: “It would be better if US exerted pressure on countries in the region that already possess nuclear weapon”
The Nuclear Energy For All, Nuclear Weapons For No One conference opens today in Tehran.
18:54 / 17.04.2010 A number of major international figures, nuclear experts, and foreign ministers as well as representatives of international and non-governmental organizations will be attending the two-day Tehran nuclear disarmament conference.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said that all countries should work for the cause of nuclear non-proliferation and try to create a world without nuclear weapons. Addressing worshippers at Friday prayers in Tehran, Mottaki said that the United States is trying to deceive the world about its nuclear weapons and the recent nuclear summit in Washington was just a show.
“Those who possess nuclear weapons are not trustworthy,” he added.
Nuclear weapons have no place in Mideast.
Tehran will continue to send the strong message that nuclear weapons have no place at all in this very sensitive part of the world, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad-Mehdi Akhoundzadeh said on Friday.
The Tehran conference is a platform where everyone can express their views, Akhoundzadeh stated.
Delivering a speech at the conference Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejat criticized US and countries supporting it: “Let US knows that it is not the time of atomic bomb. It is time of humaneness. It is real right of everyone to have nuclear energy peacefully. That is why we will continue our activity in this direction. It would be better if US exerted pressure on countries in the region that already possess nuclear weapon. I think that every country has the right of using nuclear energy…”
