Ahmadinejad: Iran will defend legal rights of all free nations
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Thursday that Iran will defend the legal rights of the Iranian nation and all other free nations.
Responding to the questions raised by the audience after delivering a speech at a gathering of the educated, students and instructors at University of Jakarta, he made the above comment in reply to a student who asked about the reason for Iran’s insistence on using peaceful nuclear technology.
Stressing that the opposition of Iran’s opponents to the country’s nuclear activities has nothing to do with their anxieties over possible deviation from peaceful path, he said, “Expression of anxieties by the enemies is just a big lie.
“There are many bullying countries, whose arsenals are full of nuclear and chemical weapons. They launch war anywhere in the world and use a variety of weapons. Besides, they have equipped many states, in particular the Zionist regime, with various types of nuclear arms.”
The president said this proves that they are not worried about nuclear weapons, given that they test a new weapon every day and threaten world nations with these weapons. “In view of this, how can they oppose nuclear weapons?”
He noted that in fact, what they oppose is the scientific progress of nations such as Iran and Indonesia, given their will for monopoly on science and technology to be used as a medium for hegemony over the world nations.
