Tehran - Allegations that Iran is seeking to make atomic bombs 'make us ... just puke,' President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday.
'These constant allegations against Iran have become an unfunny joke and make us and our nation just puke,' Ahmadinejad said in a speech in Shiraz in southern Iran.
'If we wanted to make an atomic bomb, then we would have been courageous enough to say that we were doing it,' the president said in the speech, carried live by the news network Khabar.
He added that Iran was engaged only in a peaceful nuclear programme and would not allow any country, 'neither the United States nor the US servants,' to interfere in Iran's internal affairs and deprive it of its legitimate nuclear rights.
'If they come up with documents [regarding secret Iranian military programmes], we do not even look at them, and if they make deadlines [for making concessions in the nuclear dispute], then we in return will make deadlines for them to correct their policies,' the president said.
