Iran doesn't need N-weapons: Short Round
2007-09-13
Iran is not looking to develop nuclear weapons, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told BritainÂ’s Channel 4 News Wednesday amid continued global concern at its refusal to halt uranium enrichment.

In a live interview from the grounds of the presidential palace in Tehran, Ahmedinejad told the broadcaster through a translator: “We don’t want a bomb. We are against bombs, actually...” “From a political point of view, it’s not useful... Why do we want a bomb?... What’s the use of it? We don’t need it.”

In a chaotic interview, in which Ahmadinejad, the presenter and translator often all spoke at the same time, the Iranian president said there was no reason for the Islamic republic to stop enriching uranium. Ahmedinejad earlier told state television in Iran that they will not step down under pressure.

Elsewhere in the interview, Ahmadinejad hedged on questions about whether Iran was directly supporting insurgents in neighbouring Iraq, as suspected by both Britain and the United States. He also maintained his tough line against Israel, although with language more measured than his 2005 comment that he wanted to see the Jewish state “wiped off the map”, and was unrepentant over his questioning of the Holocaust.

#2  Iran doesn't need nuclear weapons the same way a pyromaniac locked inside a powder magazine doesn't need a lighter.
