Iran denies making nuclear warheads
Sep 21, 2008, 9:27 GMT
Tehran - Iran on Sunday categorically denied Western media reports that the country was making nuclear warheads, official news agency IRNA reported.
'Reports of Iran making or using nuclear warheads are totally baseless as we regard nuclear weapons as useless and not in line with our national interests,' the air force commander of Iran's revolutionary guards, General Hossein Salami, told IRNA at a military parade in Tehran.
Various reports have claimed that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have presented documents and photos of Iranian efforts to make nuclear warheads for its medium-range Shahab-3 missiles.
The Shahab-3 missiles with a maximum range of 2,000 kilometres have caused international concern, especially in Israel, because they would be able to reach all parts of the Jewish state.
While making constant assurances on the peaceful nature of its nuclear projects, Tehran also insists that its missiles and other weapons are for defensive purposes only.

...and the USA is capable of 'proving' that the moon is made of cheese...and you'll see the americans believing that too. fools.!
For god sake please consider the followings .It is very simple .Just think with yourself :
1-Iran is under close watch of IAEA.No way to fabricate atomic bombs.
2- Some countries such as Israel are not under NPT .They have atomic bombs.No one blames them at all .
3- US regime is a country having huge WMD.They are the only country that
used atomic bombs in the world.They can not blame others.
4- West is at Iranian borders threatening Iran to attack every day .Iran
says if attacked ,the country has to defend .Israel is saying the same as US administration does.
5- How can a country be accused for what it has never done and can not do because of the close watch and inspection. the worst case is if they could prove ( I really have doubt about it) Iran wanted to proceed in such a manner in the past . So what?!
6- If Iran gets atomic bomb ,THEY CAN'T USE IT .because they will immediately be destroyed by others(a full destruction ) .
for your own sake please pay attention to this fact that all the story is a mere childish political game but with devilish conclusion eventualy expected .What is the meaning of democracy ? interfering in others regime change without a moral logic ?How they expect to live happy and proud not considering any same value for other nations ?!!
through selfishness and neglecting others right some Western governments let people like Bin Ladan grow up day by day.At the begining it may be even useful for them .But disasters start afterwards.
